Hi! Kathleen Wright from Kathleen Wright Jewelry, New York City, Miami Beach. I’ve gone over
some pretty basics with you, just the double strand necklace, stringing a necklace, measuring
and all that. I want to go over a little bit about when you find beads that you want to
make a necklace with and you have a necklace that most of the stringing when you buy beads
that are strung. These happen to be fresh water pearls that I have, the manufacturer
I buy them from, they string them on these cords that you’re going to have to open
up and make into a necklace. So say you need a 20 inch and this a 16 inch I think, yeah
its just over 16, you’re like oh no I don’t have any more pearls. What can I do to make
this longer? Well the first suggestion would be spacers; they really can stretch out a
necklace and make it a little longer, I’m going to show you some spacers that I have
here. These are long, they’re sterling silver, I’ll put a couple here, that would be like
if you need a lot of space in between like you really don’t have a lot of beads. I’m
only 2 inches short on this piece, so what I’m going to do is I’m just going to get
my little balls, they’re much smaller and they’re going to give a less illusion in
the necklace with the spacer.
