    Sweet.:happy:
    At least you didn't use modern end caps, that would have been worse.:facepalm: Next time you can thread the needle back through the beads for a few centimeters, and then cut the thread in between two beads.:)

    Thank you :p In fact, I didn’t even use a needle as I forget where I put the one I bought months ago lol they are purely ‘hand’ knotted

    Don't forget to use clear glue on the knots to keep them from coming loose. Hand-stringing pearls like that is enough of a problem without needing to repair them because the blinkin' knot came undone.

    My Grandmother used to do that! Fix jewelry without a needle, it still amazes me!

    It looks so good! That must make you so happy to have made/fixed that yourself. It's so satisfying. It turned out so well! :joyful:

    I did add some glue there! But guess I won’t wear it more than once in the future because of the paranoid for that haha

    You did a beautiful job! Things like that my husband is good at, along with unknotting chains.

    My all time least favorite activity! I shudder at a big wad of tangled chains. Gives me the willies just thinking about it.

    I find untangling an oddly satisfying time. Also useful; the tangles are often sold cheap, and there's gold in them there chain lumps! Sometimes literally.

    I always remove my jewelry before I do anything, but somehow I am the knot lady with chains!
