Can you recommend some videos? I've found quite a few on YouTube but I find them fascinating as well.

Thank you, everyone is so very helpful 🤗💜

Thanks again Pattye for being so so very generous. I feel like I didn't thank you enough in my original response 💜

I agree Pearl Dreams, Pattye is being beyond generous. I'm so very grateful

Thank you Pattye. It looks hard to find in Australia and I'd have to buy online and I'm not sure what would be the equivalent to medium in the beader's secret weight. I'll dm you over at etsy 🤗

Are you in Australia and buy beader's secret of Bernadette?

Hi, Yes I use Beader's Secret from Bernadette via etsy as she is from Australia too. When I contacted her she was very insistent that it was my technique and not her thread. If it is the thread where would you buy some in Australia that is the serafil?

I've seen methods like this one, but I can never understand how they attach the clasp, and they usually don't go back through the pearls, which I think is more secure.

No I like the Japanese method, I believe it's called, where I separate the threads to seat the knot right up against the pearl. I've see the technique where threads are pulled apart and the pearls are fed through the hole, but they go so quick it's really confusing

Can you see the slight fraying. That's what happens about a month or two after I restring them. Sometimes it happens after two weeks.

Hi, I use beader's secret thread in medium using 4 strands and the Japanese method so I don't need tools. However I've just been using an overhand knot between pearls. The knots start to fray very quickly, not a huge amount, but enough for me to want to constantly restring my pearl bracelts...

Thanks. I've tried a couple of times and the pearls move between the knots. Medium works for me if I use 4 strands. If you only use 2 how do you ensure that the pearls don't move?

Hi, I've just started pearl restringing using the Japanese method with 2 strands (except the beginning and end of the strand when it goes through 4 times). So far I've been using Beader's Secret thread. My problem is making sure the thread size I'm using is right, so the individual pearls don't...
