Learn How to Hand Knot a Beaded Necklace

Pearl necklaces have been traditionally been knotted so that if the strand breaks, all of the pearls are not lost in a shower of beads upon breaking. This is an excellent way not only to protect your pearls but also your expensive gemstone beads. Contrasting colors of bead cording can be used as a design element to add interest to your work. Thread is available with needles already attached to make life even easier.
