Griffin Silk Beading Cord and Needle, Size 4, White

After purchasing a pearl necklace that came unknotted, I took matters into my own hands and decided to take apart the strand and knot my own necklace. After much research, I learned, you need a good silk thread to secure your precious bounty from the sea. Unsure what to purchase, I went with the reviews and wasn't sorry. The pearls slid easily over the thread and, once in place and the knot was secured, I had full confidence no pearls would be coming off. The thread is strong and knots perfectly, although, you want to make sure your knot is positioned correctly before you pull it tight because once the knot is made, there is no way to untie and reposition.Griffin will be my Silk Thread of choice...

Looked everywhere for silk beading thread and cord and couldn't find it, only the polyester stuff. News flash: polyester or man made thread is very bad. Pearls look their best when beaded with really good quality threads and silk is the best. The strength of silk is phenomenal for it's very small size. Will not use anything else with the beautiful fresh water pearls I use.

I truly like that if you initially use the back end of the cord, you can use this for 2 to 3 projects!. The needle is long enough that, if the needle end gets 'wonky' you can straighten it and clip it to have a new needle!

I used it for Rudraksha stringing. It’s sturdy and comes with a needle, so very helpful. I will recommend.

Didn't know which size to purchase, so I purchased three sizes. The larger size was the correct fit. This worked very well for my first attempt at stringing my wife's pearl necklace. I would absolutely recommend for anyone that want to do their own beading or restringing.

I haven’t used it yet. Don’t really know what to make with it.

I haven’t restrung my beads yet but I’m sure I will be satisfied when I do.

My wife has a long string of pearls that was handed down through many generations of her family. The silk thread finally broke after nearly 100 years. Griffin Silk Beading Cord and Needle (size 4) helped me to restring the many pearls in 15 minutes with plenty of silk to spare. Would highly recommend this product for anyone trying to restring a silk-string necklace (by the way, the diameter of the silk thread varies according to need).
