Knotting Pearls

The technique for knotting pearls can also be used for creating knotted gemstone jewellery. It is a traditional form of jewellery making.

You will need special thread, but the idea is that the knots serve a two-fold purpose. Real pearls are very expensive. So the last thing you want is for your jewellery to break as you are wearing it (it can happen!) and to then watch as your entire strand of pearls cascades to the floor and rolls to who knows where.

If you are wearing a knotted pearl or gemstone necklace or bracelet, then it is still possible that the jewellery may break. But hopefully the knots will prevent the pearls from scattering and getting lost. Secondly, the knots protect the pearls from rubbing against one another as the jewellery is being worn.

This free pattern shows you the trick to making those knots professionally. So whether you are hoping to start making your own jewellery. Or perhaps you have inherited a broken pearl necklace. This will give you the skills to make professional knotted pearl necklaces and bracelets. If you want to know how to add an equally professional clasp, then this blog post might be helpful.

Where to go next

I believe that the basic beading techniques are the fundamentals to all beadwork and you should be able to learn them for free. These techniques are not copyrighted. So I wanted to make sure that everyone has access to well-thought out materials for learning these building blocks.

If you find my style of teaching and writing works for you, then I hope you will return. I will be giving you a discount coupon. So please use it to sample some of the patterns on this website. Or, if you live nearby, do please book for one of my classes. You can find an up-to-date list of my teaching schedule on the beading classes page.
