From Pearl Beads to Pearl Necklace – a Step by Step Tutorial

April 9th, 2010

Pearl necklaces are great jewelry for women of all ages and professions. Many people love pearl jewelry, as it is inexpensive and affordable. Pearl jewelry can be worn at all occasions and it gives the wearer, an aesthetic look. If you have some high quality pearl beads, you can make your own pearl necklace easily. Even though you have a pearl necklace, it is important to know how to make it because it will help you when you have to restring the necklace at least once in two years. Though it is easy to make a pearl necklace, you cannot simply join the pearls together with a string. There must be a knot between two pearls and this knot helps prevent abrasion of pearls. The basic tools that you need are a white silk string, beading needle, scissors, and heavy hook. Place all the beads on a soft cloth once you are ready.

Take about 90cm of the string if you are going to make a pearl necklace of 16cm. Thread the string through the needle and tie the ends of the string. Now the length of the string is halved.

Now, start stringing all the pearls one by one to the string.

On one side of the clasp, thread the needle through the hole. This clasp is close to the last pearl and it prevents the pearls from falling down. It is now time to do the knotting.

Bend the string to form a circle between pearl and clasp and thread the needle through the circle formed with the string. Now a knot is made between the needle and the clasp. At the other end of the string, connect a heavy hook so that the string is made tight.

Next, you have to start putting knots between every two pearls. Again, bend a circle between the pearl next to the clasp and the next pearl and thread the needle through the circle to form the knot.

Pull the knots tight at each step and continue putting knots until you reach the last two pearls. Thread needle through both the pearls at the end and continue threading the needle into the hole that is on the other side of the clasp. Now, put a knot between the pearl and clasp. Make the last knot with the last pearl and make sure it is tight.

Cut off the string at the end of the knot and you have a beautiful pearl necklace in your hands. Now, you have to apply clear nail polish at the last knot to secure the knot.

If you string pearls together for the first time, you may not have a perfect necklace, but as you practice more and more, you will get to know how to put the knots. Perfection of pearl knotting is possible only through practice and patience.

Giving Away Pearl Strands and Beads as Gifts

February 22nd, 2010


Is there any special occasion coming up and you are out of ideas what to buy as gifts for your loved ones? If there is, then perhaps you should consider getting some pearl jewelry for the ladies. Pearls can look simple, elegant and sophisticated all at the same time. Or they can look fun and daring, depending on the type of pearls that you choose. There is just so much variety that it’s almost impossible not to find something that your friends and family will like.


For instance, if you know that your wife is yearning to add a piece of classy jewelry to her current jewelry collection, just so she has something to wear for a more formal event, then perhaps a strand of Ayoka pearls will be the ideal choice. Ayoka pearls are rarer than ordinary cultured fresh water pearls. They also look rounder than most pearls, and come mostly in black or white. Since they are rarer, they tend to be a little more expensive as well. But the overall quality of Ayoka pearls is definitely much better than most other pearls. There is only one pearl in one oyster shell at any one time. So a strand of perfectly round white pearls will certainly allow your wife to come across as strikingly elegant without appearing too pushy. In a way, compared to other precious gem stones, there is a subtle hint of humility in pearls due to that pure and innocent glow that high quality pearls tend to radiate.


But how about buying a pearl strand as a gift for your teenage daughter? Obviously, a full strand of Ayoka pearls would be an overkill. Besides, your daughter will have little chance to wear it. What would be a more appropriate gift would be a strand of fresh water cultured pearls. Mind you, there is a wide selection of fresh water pearls to choose from. What you want is a strand of pearls that doesn’t look too formal. For example, the pearls can be slightly oval in shape, and in many different colors. Fresh water pearls are often dyed in many exciting colors so as to make the selection more interesting. And your teenage daughter will thank you again and again for the great gift that you have given her because now she has something really nice to wear to parties, bars, etc. For sure, she will be the envy of all her friends. In addition, fresh water cultured pearls are usually cultivated in volume (you find twenty to thirty pearls in a single oyster shell), and so they are also more affordable, making them the ideal companion for young adults.


You can easily source for pearl strands and beads online from one of the pearl wholesalers. You can buy them as gifts for your own family and friends, or you can buy them on behalf of somebody else. Usually, you can buy in small quantities but if you have many friends, you can consider buying in bulk as you will get much better discounts. If the pearl jewelry can make you and your friends happy, the price wouldn’t matter.

We are a featured pearl strand & Pearl bead supplier. We offer the widest range of shapes and colors to perfect luster of freshwater pearl, akoya pearls, undrilled loose pearls, including potato pearls, rice pearls, nugget pearls, etc

Design Your Own Pearl Bracelet With our Beautiful Pearl Beads

February 10th, 2010

Hey there! Got a Party in the night and no matching accessories? The same old jewelry for another party¡­.Gosh! What to do? The same story again and again. But wait, don¡¯t fret. Why don¡¯t you design your own jewelry?

Sounds impossible? No it¡¯s not impossible but it¡¯s pretty simple and it¡¯s going to be indigenous and unique with no fear of your friend wearing the same stuff. Come today we¡¯ll tell you how to design your pearl bracelet. Pearls never go out of fashion and they can be worn with any type and style of dresses.

Pearls are one of the girls¡¯ best friends. There are many types of pearl but mainly two types are used and are in vogue-Natural pearl and Cultured pearl. Now days people also use imitation pearl which has a surface created by some scientific process¡­they are easily available and cheap. The more the luster of the pearl, the more expensive it becomes. Pearls come in different colors like pink, beige, black, peach and of course black. The shapes can be round, roundel, rice-shaped, potato-shaped etc.

So now get ready to make your pearl bracelet. All you need is actually quite easy to find: Pearls (about 30 for six inch bracelet), needle, nylon cord, scissors, and Fevi-Quick or glue and a little patience and a bit of time.

Project one: Making a simple bracelet
Measure the size of the wrist and cut the nylon cord a little extra or if needed you can leave the cord on the roll itself to be on the safer side
1) Put the cord through the needle
2) Put glue on one end of the cord (if it had been cut from the roll) so that the pearl don¡¯t slide and fall.
3) Now go on sliding the pearl one by one through the needle.
4) Once it is of the required size, please check the size whether it fits or not, tie both ends of the cord very tightly.
5) Snap or cut the cord. Let one end of the cord be a little longer still.
6) Put some glue on the knot.
7) Within a few minutes the glue will dry and form a small dew drop like structure.
8) Once it is done trim the extra cord.
9) The bracelet is ready for your party¡­

Project two: Making a trendy bracelet
Now that you¡¯ve had some idea of beading and how to bead with pearl beads with extra care and skills, it¡¯s just a matter of adding more details, and probably a eye catching design to make your very own trendy bracelet.

1) Use colorful beads and different shaped beads
2) Put single knots in between each bead i.e. put one bead and a hand knot in between to make it look beautiful and trendy
3) You can put small trinkets like baby bells, golden balls and let them hang from the bracelet.

So with this brace let you can create a style statement of your own without spending to much and having a unique bracelet.
