The classic 16-inch knotted white pearl necklace is probably the most eternal wedding accessory there is. Loved for generations, you can never go wrong with this simple and elegant necklace.
Reboot: We have elevated this design to feature gorgeous PRESTIGE crystal pearls in cream and a lovely filigree box clasp with crystals. Please note that this design will use between 40 - 45 pearls depending on how close your knots are to the beads.

Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

To begin this lovely necklace, watch the Beadaholique video How to Do Pearl Knotting Using Tweezers. This will show you how to stretch out your Griffin silk beading cord, create a double overhand knot to start, attach a 22k gold plated clamshell knot cover, and begin stringing your pearls.
Based on the tweezer technique showed in the instructional video, string and knot about 42 pearls. I mention "about" because in your 15.5" strand of cultured white round potato pearls, the pearls will vary in size from 8-10mm. You might want to measure once you have beaded 40 pearls and see how long your necklace is.
Once you have all your pearls knotted, create a knot after the last pearl and then string on another 22k gold plated clamshell knot cover. Create another knot to secure the knot cover. Then create a double knot. Cut off excess beading cord. Place a small dab of GS Hypo Cement inside the knot cover and close the knot cover.
You will notice that on the end each of the knot covers there is a little open hook. Thread one of these hooks through the loop on one side of your clasp, use your chain nose pliers to close the loop. Do the same on the other side of the clasp.
That's it! Enjoy!
