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.

I am a practicing Optometrist but, I find the daily grind of "which is better, one or two," to lack creative fulfillment. Simply Devine Designs provides me with that outlet. I have had no formal training in jewelery making. Everything I have learned has been through lots of trial and many, many errors! I got started making jewelry when my favorite necklace fell apart. I decided to repair it myself. It was then that I discovered jewelry making was not only fun, but it was a great outlet for my creative energy. It wasn't long before I found myself making more jewelry than I could possibly wear. The rest, as they say, is history.
rest to your work. Thread is available with needles already attached to make life even easier.
