Hello, I was wondering if it is necessary to use silk thread when knotting pearls? or could i use fireline or wildfire instead? Thank you for your time.

[@agrainofsand6591]

Silk thread is the traditional thread used to knot pearls. Silk thread is soft and the naturally perfect choice to protect the pearls from wear or damage. Fireline is a rather stiff cord that I don't think comes in a thick enough size. It is not soft and subtle to give you the kind of protection you would want for your pearls. We highly recommend Griffin Silk for knotting pearls.

A Grain of Sand Thank you for answering my question so quickly. I will be using the Griffin Silk then. I didn't realize until now how stiff the fireline was. when you said to use the silk for the softness, I remembered that the fireline did not set well when I tried to make fringed dangles one time. once again I thank you for getting right back to me.
