As requested! This is the FULL version of the hand-knotting video that we uploaded earlier. Let me know how you use this technique in your own projects!
Hi! I'm new to this. But I'd like to ask what exactly do you call the clasp that you used? Because they got spring. Thank you very much for your reply 😊
I inherited a beautiful set of pearls that required re-stringing, and a new more modern clasp. After watching your video, I have successfully restrung them, and the necklace is just stunning. Thank you x
o m g, after taking time to watch your details, i realized a few mistakes that i made making using jewelry findings which wouldve saved some of my bracelet and necklaces from ruining. just home hobbyist but still a lot of work was put into it.. good video. wow
Very thorough and clear explanation on pearl knotting. Best part is only simple hand tools are required. Plus some crucial skill which is easy to master. Now my hands are itching to try out my first project. Thank you Christine.
Christiane, In my opinion you give the best instructions along with being able to see exactly what you are doing at the same time. I learned a lot from you to perfect my techniques when you were on JTV and I am still learning. I think you are the best. Thank you so much for what you do. Love your videos and thanks again. Until next time! Happy Beading, Nancy Markle
Christine this was very helpful and I’m going to follow your instructions to restring two sets of my great aunt and grandmothers pearls. I’ve been afraid for years to have them done by a jeweler and decided it was time to find a tutorial on CZcams to DIY! As soon as I finish, I’ll post a picture for you. Thank you.
You can do it! I have confidence. Maybe practice on some cheap beads too start but either way, it's not permanent so if you aren't satisfied you can start over. But, I don't think you will have to. You will be so happy to do this yourself!
Hi Southpaw Studio! I'm a southpaw too, do you think this video was left handed? It seems like she was doing something that made more sense to me somehow, lol I think I need validation, I play golf and baseball right handed.
@@jillrichardson4609 I’m not really sure . Here tweezers are in her right hand but she does the knot in her left . So I’m going to say both lol I also golf and bat right handed . I would consider myself ambidextrous in a lot of things though . 😊
I have watched a few videos on stringing pearls, but this one is by far the best and i will be using this technique to re-string my daughter's pearl bracelet. This video showed exactly what this excellent teacher was doing. Her hands were positioned where the viewer could always see the work, the closeups were in focus, and furthermore, the camera stayed on the work long enough for the viewer to understand exactly what was being done. The audio quality was very good also, and the instructor was charming.
This was a wonderful video and I love how patiently you explained each step and why you do it. I’m sure I can do this as it seems that the two key requirements are a lot of patience and fine tweezers. Patience I have, fine tweezers I need to invest in, but thankfully they are not a ridiculously expensive tool. Thank so much for sharing!
its hard to find neat people to learn from who actually know what ther talking about I have picked up the art of chain maille crafts about 2 years ago were i once was just scrapping copper wire in the many gages it comes in and the many uses electricity trials through it as i found it and became more fascinated with the metal and its glowing property and how close to gold it is well enough of that for now its about and how to teach so glad I stumbled upon your video channel I do thirst for knowledge of this ever growing art were a simple thing like wire can be so expandable in its uses as a medium I will know be subscribing to 🐙 octopuss do gonna be fun
Awesome! I know exactly how you feel about metal as well. I've learned a little about soldering & sintering and just find it all fascinating. Glad you enjoy! Thanks for the positive vibes.
@@OctopusDobyCRoss sharing is caring and with it i have a new friend indeed I will learn more in your video that type of thing will never be to old as long as god gives me life pure joy it is to make things out of things that may end up at a land fill its a happy thing to do for endless reasons
Thank you so much! You are the best, I made wonderful piece with you help, charming, talented teacher. One question, please, where wid you buy your clasps? I would buy everything you would recommend. Very grateful to you!
Hello Christiane Ross OctopusDo. I am trying to locate a supplier of compression findings which you used in the video, knotting pearls . I’m not having any success. An you help me? Thanks
I have a 1 meter strand of pearls that doesn't have knots between the pearls. I want to restring the pearls, bur where do you get that large spool of silk? It can't be regular silk sewing thread.
@OctopusDO by C Ross Hi Christiane! Thank you for the video! Could you share the brand and style of the tweezers you’re using in this video? Thank you SO much in advance!❤️🙏🏻🤗🌹

Many thanks. So kind of you to show clearly how to string beads. I have subscribed to your channel 👍💜
Thank you. Subscribers help my channel & I hope my channel helps you.
Your video is excellent, I have only strung pearls with double cord but will now will follow your instructions for single cord. Thank you .

Amazing
I wish I had seen this before I had gone and bought the Bead Smith.
Thank you, that was a great video. Could you please show us what to do if we don’t want to use a clasp to my necklace.
You can simply knot the 2 ends together!

Hello Christiane Ross OctopusDo. I am trying to locate a supplier of compression findings which you used in the video, knotting pearls . I’m not having any success. An you help me? Thanks
Sure, look for crimp end findings. I just looked these up on FMG: www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h20a8669fn
Was wondering where can I find the compression clasps.
I have a 1 meter strand of pearls that doesn't have knots between the pearls. I want to restring the pearls, bur where do you get that large spool of silk? It can't be regular silk sewing thread.
@OctopusDO by C Ross Hi Christiane! Thank you for the video! Could you share the brand and style of the tweezers you’re using in this video? Thank you SO much in advance!❤️🙏🏻🤗🌹
Where do you find the compression loops?
Ok, these are great. They have a lobster claw already attached! www.amazon.com/dp/B001QJVM2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_J6RECM6SHFKBMTCV0ZCR
👍🏽
Is there a video on how to finish the necklace without a clasp?
@@sissetiedt9352 I'm sorry. I don't have that one.
What size silk cord do you recommend when buyin on a spool?
It really depends on the size of your bead holes!
What size silk are you using that is on the spool and where can you buy it
Do you have any tutorials on the endless strands mentioned?
Not yet, but I could do one! Great idea!!!
Thanks so much. Where do we get the particular finding, crimp tube with a ring? Thanks again.
They are called EZ Crimps from Beadalon- www.beadalon.com/products/findings_ezcrimp.asp
What size of thread do i need for 4mm pearl? Thx
It all depends on how big the hole is but I'm going to guess #1 or #2
Are these real cultured pearls ?
Yes they are. Freshwater, not saltwater though.
Hi! I was wondering where you got your compression clasp from?
I'll find you a link. I forgot where that one came from.
