<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2543906, member: 5833"]I'm hesitant because I would not be able to attach the ends to the clasp in a way I like as much as I do as is. I do worry they'll snap at the clasp & a pearl will be lost, unless I can find it again. Wore them to the Zoo today nonetheless.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Between my less than perfect eyes & my variably shaky hands, something I used to love to do, threading & knotting, is now sometimes very challenging if the holes in the beads are very small. The pearls would probably not be too bad. If I find I already have some suitable bead cord, I may give it a go. This has also frayed at some knots; looks like they are on cotton. I would put them on silk. I do have French wire, although not sure it is as fine as what is there now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
