Pearl Knotting Tutorial | Beginner's Tutorial 

Thank you so much for the most "detailed" tutorial for knotting pearls I have watched! I love that you use several pearls with knots at each end, to increase durability. Some tutorials I've watched only go back through one pearl and that doesn't seem that it would make the necklace as strong. You are a born instructor. Hugs, M.D.

My daughter and I would love to wear these and I cannot wait to make them for us. It would be a traditional pair to pass down to our girls. Thank you so much for showing us how to make them have a great 2024 and years to come.

I've been knotting pearls off and on for several years, usually only once or twice a year. Because I can be forgetful (I'm 76) I always check for a video to remind me of the beginning and ending using french wire. I have to say that this is the best video I've found (and I've watched a bunch!). It's just what I need to kick-start my memory when knotting pearls. Thank you so much.

I inherited a string of pearls from my sister who passed away in 2016, but haven't been able to wear them because they were broken. Thanks to your wonderful tutorial - I have just completed knotting them successfully and can finally wear them.

My grandma was a jeweler and when I was 13 she taught me how to do this. I’m now 29 and when she passed away earlier this year I ended up with one of her broken pearl necklaces, and the idea was that I could fix it to remember her but I realized I needed a refresher. This tutorial is perfect, I’m in the process of re-stringing the necklace right now and soon I’ll be able to wear it!

Finally! A clear, easy to understand and execute, pearl knotting tutorial. Thank you so much!

This by far the best stringing tutorial video I've seen, the best explanation for how to use the French wire to attach the clasp. Thank you!

I've watched quite a few bead or pearl knotting tutorials, and this one is by far the best. Very clear spoken and visual instructions!

Brilliant- best tutorial ever. Thank you!

The best tutorial video I have found for Pearl knotting with a single strand of silk. Very clear instructions and helps that it is so close up so you can see the detail of what you are doing. This technique with the tweezers gives consistent knots right close up to the pearls. I've just tried it to make a bracelet with great results! Easy to do once you get the hang of it. Great instructions for finishing the ends neatly and securely too. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and explaining everything so carefully!

I have wanted to learn how to string pearls most of my life - now I can! Brilliant tutorial - I have watched many others. Thank you

This was a fabulous tutorial. I have sat and watched a number of videos on pearl knotting and this is the only one that actually got through to me of how to do it! I went from start to finish without a mistake and the pearls look very professionally done. Thank you, thank you. :)

Thank you for the clear video as well as with the live audio. I was able to follow everything well at a perfect pace, very happy with it! I just had to search a bit for the right thread, but that also turned out fine:) You are a perfect instructor!! Britt

Thank you for this detailed tutorial. I have just re strung and knotted my late Aunt's pearl necklace and bracelet following your instructions.

The absolute best tutorial covering the professional method of stringing & knotting pearls or beads. Every detail is clearly explained as the demo shows each step in the process. No extra chit chat & no missing oversights, just straight to the point. All the essential information is provided, complete from start to finish. It also includes a brief overview of the parts to better understand how the pieces fit together. A comparison of various fresh water pearl types, a description of thread size in relation to diameter of the drilled center, selecting a clasp style, purpose of French wire & special adhesive to secure the end knots. I enjoyed every bit of this well planned presentation & I'll return to purchase supplies. Thank you for sharing your expert knowledge & passion for creating beautiful jewelry!

Thank you for the very professional tutorial on knotting pearl necklaces.

This tutorial is incredible. It's by far the best one I've seen! I didn't really understand what exactly needed to be done and why until watching. Thank you so so much!

Best tutorial I’ve found so far after several months of looking. Wish Inhad found it much sooner. BRAVO Spoilt Rotten Beads!! Clear, concise, easy to follow and yet quick. Now subscribed!

That was a great tutorial. I have never used the French wire, and your directions were very clear; your demonstration of how this process is done was was at a great pace. It was very easy to follow you. Thank you.

This video is most informative and easy to follow. This lady is also very pleasant to listen to. I can't wait to try stringing my lapis lazuli beads following her tutorial.

Great tutorial…. I really resonated when you said “ Every Jeweller should know how to string pearls, as some day you will be asked to fix a broken pearl necklace… “ Can’t wait to make one now.. Thank you ❤

I've been watching several pearl-knotting video tutorials, and this is the best and most clearly explained without too much extra talking. Thank you so very much

Thank you so very much for your lovely, step by step video. I own a small business and one of my customers wanted me to hand knot her beads. I had no clue what to do. I came across your video and the necklace turnout so beautiful. I now love knotting pearls and beads, I even made myself one 😊

I must say it’s the most easiest tutorial ever! No too long and to the point! No story telling, it was perfect 👌🏼 Thank You 😊🥰😍

Oh my, what an excellent video! I love love love pearls and have no less than 8 or 10 strings of my mother's and grandmothers. Now I can repair ones that need a new clasp or restring and knot them. You re a genuine learning experience. Thank you so much.

I’ve watched this 3 times more and I just ordered my supplies to measure Christmas gifts. Thanks for the amazing tutorial!!

I hadn’t done hand knotting for almost two years so of course I searched Spoilt! Thank you Juliet!

Best tutorial. Especially like the easy way you show how to create the loop...excellent! Thank you.

Thank you! I´m about to make my own pearl necklace and I knew that I had to learn about how to do it in the proper way and not just buy a thread and get going. This explains a lot to why the knots are important and why we need to secure it a lot.

I've just completed my first try at re-stringing my pearls and found your demonstration extremely easy to follow. I am very pleased with the results. I have saved myself a lot of money and I have a better string of pearls because I only discovered recently that they had NOT been knotted by the jewellers (supposedly a professional!) for re-stringing as they were originally. So as you can imagine, I am so glad that they didn't break! Now, thanks to your excellent video I won't have to worry now. Thanks a million!

Absolute wonderful video… very precise and instructional … clearly explains everything…. I pray she is teaching classes somewhere!!! ❤️❤️❤️

At last someone who has taken the mystery out of pearl knotting very clear easy to understand instructions thank you thank you thank you.have now tried this technique and thanks to you have made a good job even though I say it myself

Best video on knotting pearls! I got the job done even though I didn't really enjoy it. Knotting pearls is very time consuming!

Really clear and detailed tutorial. Thanks for demystifying knotting pearls!! :)

What an absolutely brilliant tutorial, I have a broken pearl necklace and dont want to have to take it into a shop to have re strung, so this is the ticket !! Thank you so much, you are a fantastic teacher !! I have subscribed for more of your interesting content .....

I love how your nails match the pearls. Thank you for explaining so thoroughly. Will try it soon.

Thanks for a very detailed and easy to follow tutorial. It certainly takes the fear out of stringing pearls.

This is the best tutorial I've watched for knotting pearls using a clasp with the french wire. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for the tutorial. This video was the most easily understood and detailed one I came across. Well done. Now I can start stringing my pearl.

This has been the best tutorial for knotted pearls. It helped a lot. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this wonderful video!! I am currently re-stringing my wedding pearl necklace for my daughter to wear in her wedding and I find your instructions to be very helpful. Much appreciated!

I learned exactly what I needed to know from this... an excellent tutorial. Well planned, beautifully executed, and the pro tips about the silk and knots, tweezers - well done. Thank you.

Thank you so much for a brilliant tutorial, excellent for a beginner😉

You are a great teacher with a much easier technique than I first used. Thank you for the tutorial!

Lovely video! Thank you so much for clear explanation. The best tutorial for knotting pearls. 😊 🙃😊

Best most straight forward video that I have seen R.B.

Thank you. This is a very clear lesson.

I have viewed many videos on pearl knotting and this one IS THE BEST ANYWHERE! So clear and precise right through completion of a beautiful piece. I recently viewed this one over again as a refresher and the projects are completed. Thank You for sharing your expertise with us!

Thank you this is one of the clearest.

Very instructive and you made it clear and easy to follow! Thank you!

Perfect instructions on how to string pearls. Thank you for your tutorial.

Thank you so much for your demo on Knotting pearl. Can't wait to get my French wire etc. and try this I loved the step by step it was easy to understand.

Thank you for showing me how to do this. I’m sure I will have to eventually restring all of the strand, but with this information I was able to fix the end of my 50 year old pearls that had loosened at the end of one clasp!

Can't wait to try this! Going to string my first pearl necklace! Woohoo! Thank you for the excellent video!

Glad I found you! It’s been over 25 years since I’ve worked with pearls and the itch is getting stronger!

So very extremely helpful! The french wire I ordered from Spoilt Rotten Beads was exactly what I needed! I've restrung my sister's pearls and will be doing mine next. Thank you, Spoilt Rotten Beads!!

Thank you! It’s been probably 12 years since I’ve done a strand and a customer needs theirs restrung for an event. Truly appreciate the refresher!

Clear and precise, which made it easy to follow. Thank you so much because it has made me feel that I can do it.

This is a brilliant tutorial and I use it all the time to remind me of the details. Thank you so much for being such a good teacher and providing such a clear presentation.

Thank you for sharing this knotting technique, I'm greatful beyond words really. I've been watching other Pearl Knotting methods for days on end and found them either hard to remember or difficult to master quickly. Your method is EXACTLY 100 PERCENT what I was hoping to find. Easy and beautifully done. I'm *Over The Moon and Back HAPPY 😊! THANK YOU SO MUCH 💓 🎁💐

AS with the comments below this is an exceptionally good tutorial with the Tweezers thank you very much you have made it look so easy with very clear step by step instructions.

Agreed, exceptionally great tutorial. I was taught this way in a class but didn't learn the method you showed for starting with a clasp using a French wire! Thank you so much!

I have already looked at a few videos on pearl knotting. I watched them to get an overview and try to adapt all of other peoples experiences into my own method, however this video is the best tutorial on pearl threading that I have seen and doesn't need any changes, it is a great simple method concisely and precisely presented. The camera work was also excellent. Thank you for your help.

Thanks very much. I watched three videos and your was the most successful!

Wonderful tutorial - thank you!

Genius!! I've been looking for a proper tutorial for pearls and beads. Thank you so much!!

At last....have managed pearl knotting. Great technique for awkward left handers. Thank you.

Thank you so much. My pearls broke some years ago and I had them re strung at the jewellers. I wasn't over impressed as one of the pearls hadn't been knotted correctly and moved about 3 or 4 mm over time. They have recently broken again at the French wire. I decided that this time I would 're strung them following your video. I used a dressmaking pin to get the knot close to the pearl as my tweezers were not like yours. I'm really pleased with the result. It may not be perfect, but a much better job than the jewellers did. Like all things in life, it takes practice. Thank you so much.

A friend from church came to me with a beautiful freshwater pearl necklace she got many years ago- the thread had broken and she knew I did custom beaded jewelry and repair. I'd never done a nice pearl necklace so was a little daunted. But your tutorial had exactly the information I needed! From what kind of thread (silk) and size to the exact logistics and mechanics of how to tie the knits in between. Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much! I really needed this...you made it so simple👍

This is really helpful. Thank you so much for posting it! I am now an expert at knotting pearls!

best demo yet !!!! brilliant

wonderful, wonderful, wonderful tutorial. thank you

Very helpful, easy to follow. Thank you!

Thank you for teaching me this. I used to make pearls necklaces which I love but it was over 20 years ago

Great Tutorial. TY!

Thank you so much. You did an excellent job explaining it with ease! Much appreciated!

I am so very grateful for this!

Love this Such great instructions Thank you! Patricia

Lovely and very simple! Thank you.

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! Wonderful instructions!!!

I have watched several videos on pearl knotting. I do think that your’s is the most specific and clear to understand. Thank you so much for this great video!

Brilliant video! I love your method. I have just watched another video where the lady used a crimp bead and 2 knots between the clasp and the last pearl at each end, and I think that looks messy (unless you use a couple of crimp covers I suppose) but your method is a lot easier and looks so much neater! The only thing I will point out is that you say the thickness of the thread needs to be able to go through the pearl but it actually needs to go through the pearl twice so something to remember before starting. Otherwise, I think this is a fantastic method and your instructions are so clear...thank you!

Wow! Excellent video! Great tutorial! I'd had so many failures doing this and you make it look so easy!

Really useful tutorial, the best one I have found.

Awesome thorough tutorial, thanks soo much, I'm soo excited that I found you and this was the first video I clicked on

Lovely precise video .Encouraged to have a go.

thoroughly enjoyed this video thank you for the lesson

Thank you - so clear and helpful and I think that I could give it a try and expect to succeed. Maris

Thank you so much, you are so clear , made it so easy to understand .

My dear, how to thank you for this wonderfull and so convenient tutorial I have watched in the whole net!!! This is a perfect job and I never thought to be able to do the same but I DO. God bless you for transmitting this knowledge so perfectly. Nathalie, Paris, France

Best Pearl knotting I’ve ever done. Thank you for the tutorial.

I finally restrung the necklace. Thank you much for this great tutorial and for saving me $80 at the jeweler! Although I was apprehensive at first to restring my cultured pearl necklace I was able to to do the job with no problems thanks to you! You made it look easy and it was easy. My only problem was that I first purchased the wrong size thread which went through the pearl, made a nice knot, but then I couldn't backtrack through the pearl again to secure the first half of the clasp. I started with a #6 then used a #4 which was perfect. Thank you again!

What an excellent video!! Thank-you for this. It was exactly what I was looking for.

Loved the tutorial! Never seen the French wire method before.

It's such a pleasure listening to her! She explains clearly, in detail and with such extraordinary patience every step. Wonderful video! Ty.

Totally brilliant video - thank you. I am a jewellery maker and designer with over 35 years experience, but have never had to string pearls. I am going to have a go now with your help. Watch this space. Phil (from philongold)

Thank you for this tutorial. It was exactly what I needed to be able to restring my mothers pearls.

Love the demonstration

Great video, really clear!
