Thank you! I have been a fine jeweler for my whole career but have avoided pearl stringing for the longest time. The person who strung for us is gone so I had to take matters into my hands. Much appreciated!
I took a class at my local bead shop and this was how the owner taught me. Its nice to have a video to use as a reminder of how to knot. Great information. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks so much for watching!
My favorite technique, so easy and works great!!!
Thank you for this video.
Thank you for your patience and detailed directions.
Excellent demonstration! This is the ideal video for making durable pearl necklaces using affordable materials like silk thread, tweezers and bead tips. The other videos on youtube weren't explaining the right technique for making pearl necklaces and they were using expensive tools. At last I found this video. Thank you very much for this video!!!
So glad to hear this helped! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you so much for this video. No more knot anxiety! Makes a perfect knot every time!
One of the best tutorials I have ever seen! You made it so clear & easy to follow! Thank you!!!
That's so nice to hear, thanks for the kind words Kitty!
Thank you! You make it look so easy, I'm off to give it a try. :)
Really, really clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great video, very clear, easy instructions.
Beadaholique videos are the best. I learn so much by watching them. Great demonstrations. Keep up the fantastic work!
I gave away many of my tools to my niece. I now use a safety pin. Works fine. I've been to China and watched young women do it all freehand, lickety split. It's super amazing to watch.
I was ready to throw my work in a corner when I stumbled upon your demonstration...with your very pleasant voice you saved the day. Thank you so very much.
Hi Joyce. How about that! So glad we were able to help. Pearl knotting is a little tricky at first as you discovered.)) We'd love to know that you were able to complete your project.
Thanks for sharing. I just started hand knotting and have messed up a few times. But I'm not a quitter so I finally got the technique down pretty well. You are so right when you say that the more you knot, the better you get. I like using the tweezers but I also like using the awl to get the knot where I want it and I use the tweezers to push the knot down against the bead. Your video is very well made and I found it very easy to follow. I knotted pearls and I knotted some pink quartz beads so far. I'm liking it and will be knotting a lot of other gemstones and different color pearls.
Bardzo fajny tutek: jasno, klarownie, czytelnie. Thanks Beadaholique!
One of my favorite videos!
I really enjoyed your video! The instructions were very clear and concise and the quality of the video is great! You made it look so easy with the tweezers. I was a little apprehensive about knotting, but now I think I will try this!
Enjoy and feel free to come back and let us know if you have any other questions
works like a charm! thanks
Thank you! I have made so many type necklaces, but my first time doing pearls i wasn't sure which type of string or cord. Or the knot! What a job until I came on your site. Well done!
Very useful technique, Thank you
Awesome I love this tutorial, thank you so much
Oh you make this look SO simple, easy, peasy, tie the knot & squeezy . . .so why do I have the feeling that my stress levels are rising as I watch the video getting closer to the end ?! Seriously though, great tutorial as always, I’m needing to get this knot thing down pat, so I hope I can follow it and have mine looking as great as yours. Oh and I loved the little mini clam shell demo too. Cheers from NZ 👍💜💙
Thanks. . . very clear cut.
thank you so much for teaching me!
Thank you for such a good video. You explained so well
Thanks glad you like it!
Thank you, I found your clear and easy to follow.
Thank you very well explained
Thank you! I have some precious pearls in a three-strand choker and matching bracelet that I have been wanting to have restrung for two girls and myself. Jewelry stores are quoting $300 for the project. I may try this!
Wow...$300!😳
I hope you were able to accomplish it, yourself!☺
💗🇺🇸
Thank you. I understand the knotting technique thanks to your video!
Glad we could help!
Very good tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback! : )
Thank you!! Your video helped me a lot!! 🌺
this is really nice and beautiful,
Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you!
This is so helpful, thanks
Happy we could help Beryl, thanks for watching!
@zoetic26 I am so glad you like the video. The amount of thread you will need will depend upon how large the pearls you are using are and the total length of the necklace. As a general guideline, give yourself at least double the length of your necklace. So for a 16" pearl necklace, you will want at least 32" just for the necklace and then allow yourself extra for the clasp and to have room to comfortably work.
I am so glad you like the video! At this time we do not offer any physical beading classes, but we have a lot of videos for you to learn from and the written directions to all our projects are free and online.
Nice informative video tks
Thanks for the informative video. I'm not into beading, but I came to UA-cam looking for "knotting with tweezers" because I am into sewing, and sometimes I have a need to tie such a knot. Another thing: You showed making two overhand knots for insertion into the clamshell. There's a knot used in sailing that's called the stop knot, also known as the figure 8 knot. That knot can be made quite large if one wants that kind of "stopper," and I think it'd serve you for use in the clamshell. There's an app, BTW, on knots called Grog's Knots, and it is a very amazing app. Check it out.
This is a wonderful video! Thank you! I am wondering how to figure out how much thread I need for the length of pearls I am knotting.
Nice!
At last! After many false starts (as in numerous poorly produced You Tube videos), your pearl knotting tutorials are fabulous. You have the gift of getting into the beginner's mind. I am inspired to give it a go. Thank you.
Awesome! Question: if holes in beads are too big, can you do a double knot in between the beads? Thank you, debs from Texas
Thank you. Excellent video. Used your video to make three bracelets that I've been planning to make for years. I'm throwing away the knotting tool that I had purchased a knotting tool from firemountain and tried to use and it just kept coming apart (head shifted) and the lubricant kept discoloring the silk, so contaminated it. Dirty. (No resolution from firemountain either.).
Thanks very much for this video. I was wondering if there are beading classes you guys do?
I had no idea it was so easy to do. I've been avoiding pearls for the reason thinking it was hard to do.
Do you sell the bird charm on this video? I love it and couldn't find it on the website?
Complimenti tutorial spiegato molto bene. Posso chiedere dove acquisti le chiusure per collane,quella del tutorial è bellissima. Ti ringrazio e saluto
Boa Noite! Parabéns pelo seu trabalho. Arrasou 😇 😍 😍👏👏👏👏👏👏
We have a video: "How to Begin a Knotted Strand of Pearls" which will show you how to attach a clasp. You can also use clamshell knot covers over your knots and then attach your clasp or a jump ring to these.

Why no thread guard?
@Beadaholique I would suggest giving yourself 40" for a 16" necklace. If your pearls are large, you will not need this much but it is always to error on the side of caution.
Could you please tell me when it is better to use gimp, and when is it better to use gold knot covers? Is it just a matter of preference? Thanks.
It does depend on personal preference. Knot covers are a great option if you want to use a finding that will look like a bead. Thanks for watching!
@@beadaholique - Think I will go with bead tips. It bothers me to use gold-filled gimp with a gold clasp, and I cannot find 14k gold gimp anywhere on the internet ... thanks much for your response!
Can I ask you what brand of tweezers you used in the tutorial? Thank you!
+Craftin Kate Sure :) Those are Beadsmith bead and pearl knotting tweezers, you can find them on our site here: www.beadaholique.com/p-10728-beadsmith-bead-and-pearl-knotting-tweezers.aspx
Thank you!
can you use any other kinds of threads or cords?
tbkk100 You can experiment with other threads and cords but be cautious that a lot of them will either not fit through the hole of the pearl or could be cut by the roughness of the pearl. Griffin Silk is often used because it is easy to get through the hole, it is strong, and it cushions each pearl.

What would you charge to re knot a long strand of pearls??
Sorry. We do not offer that type of service.
How do you finish it?
We have a video on that technique available here:
ua-cam.com/video/9N87vt-heao/v-deo.html
Thank you.
Very helpful video. Thank you, I just need help with the ends. How can I add a clasp?
Оъ
HNIA
that's a great technique but you didn't show how to finish the end.
Chiedo scusa pensavo di non aver inviato il msg....così ho scritto il secondo
What about the rnd knot?
Can you please provide some more details? I can't quite understand what you are asking. Thank you!
@@beadaholique hi. I dont believe you showed how to knot the last Pearl's for the strand.
this is really nice and beautiful,
