This brand new design was just added to my collection. It’s a gorgeous double strand 7 inch white freshwater pearl bracelet and matching earrings. As with many of my pearl pieces, the bracelet has been hand knotted, by moi, on white silk thread with a knot between each pearl and finished with a silver plated clasp.

The earrings are bursting with freshwater pearls and have Sterling silver ear wires. Pearls have been wire wrapped onto Sterling silver chain.

Gorgeous white 4.5 – 5mm nugget shaped pearls adorn this bracelet and earrings. Each one with a slightly different shape. They have a beautiful luster that the photos don’t do justice. Just imagine how this gorgeous necklace will compliment your wedding dress on the big day.

This brand new design was just added to my collection. It’s a gorgeous double strand 18 inch white freshwater pearl necklace. As with many of my pearl pieces, this necklace has been hand knotted, by moi, on white silk thread with a knot between each pearl and finished with a silver plated clasp.

This versatile necklace can be worn two ways. Twisted as shown in the picture or untwisted so that the necklace looks like two separate strands of pearls.

Pearl necklaces can be bought with knots between each pearl or simply strung onto thread or beading wire. There are many advantages to buying hand knotted pearls.

When pearls are hand knotted, the knot between the pearls protects them from bumping into each other on the strand. As the pearls rub against each other, they can slowly develop scratches and fractures. Dirt and other pollutants like perfume, makeup, and hairspray can get into the fractures which can damage them over time.

Another advantage to knotted pearls is that they have much more movement than un-knotted pearls. Since there is more room between the pearls, the necklace or bracelet is able to hang more easily and can move when you move. Un-knotted pearls have less movement and when strung tightly can look more like a rigid necklace than a string of pearls. Many sellers these days are selling their pearls without having knots between them.

The biggest advantage of buying hand knotted pearls is if the strand breaks, you will only lose one pearl since there are knots between each one. Imagine an un-knotted pearl necklace breaking and all the pearls end up scattered all over the floor.

So if you want to keep your pearls safe and reduce their wear and tear, search for bracelets and necklaces that are hand knotted.
