Hi! I'm new to this. But I'd like to ask what exactly do you call the clasp that you used? Because they got spring. Thank you very much for your reply 😊

You can do it! I have confidence. Maybe practice on some cheap beads too start but either way, it's not permanent so if you aren't satisfied you can start over. But, I don't think you will have to. You will be so happy to do this yourself!

I have watched a few videos on stringing pearls, but this one is by far the best and i will be using this technique to re-string my daughter's pearl bracelet. This video showed exactly what this excellent teacher was doing. Her hands were positioned where the viewer could always see the work, the closeups were in focus, and furthermore, the camera stayed on the work long enough for the viewer to understand exactly what was being done. The audio quality was very good also, and the instructor was charming.
