I need a picture lesson.

by lucy yates
(Longwood, fl. )

This seems so hard. can you send me mor visual instructions?

I saw Japanese string pearls, but he put all beads on one string-then somehow looped over each one another string and then tied that 1 pearl onto it? I am so confused as it is the "right" Japanese way and I want to know how for my own Mikimoto pearls I own. Unfortunately not right clasp-where can I find M in shell hall mark clasp in sterling--cheap???. Mine came with diamond clasp I picked out-not knowing the original clasp was better value wise. Thanks for reply. lytes9(at)cfl(dot)rr.com Orlando Fl. area.

Hi Lucy,

Yes, I put all the pearls on the thread before starting to knot them. That's the way I was taught and it works well for me.

Sorry, I don't know where to get official Mikimoto clasps, you'll have to check with the company about that.

I agree that learning pearl knotting from written instruction leaves much to be desired. It's always best to learn from someone in person. I watched it being done for a long time before even attempting it myself and then I asked a ton of questions. It took practice to get the system mastered.

Thank you for your question.
