<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 2962769, member: 13464"]Nice find! Rebeading isn't that difficult. Lots of video's on You Tube. There aren't that many pieces... I'd tackle it myself. Even the knotting between ISN'T difficult if you have a large pin to direct the loop of the knot to; before you tighten up the knot. Again on You Tube. If you use a nylon filament thing...you will have to for go the knots and take care using crimp beads as the nylon can be cut or slides off; depending on how tight you crimp. I'd use a decent weight pearl cord. That does knot nicely and drapes well AND works better to tie off in crimps and clam shells. </p><p>Good luck,</p><p>Cheerio,</p><p>Leslie</p><p>PS. As for the chain. It "looks" like the ends of the chain are just attached on each end piece of coral, rather than going clear through all the pieces. In which case you may have a really hard time finding a replacement. Perhaps leave those pegs in place (that are anchored in the coral) and just replace the chain. It looks like it is just tarnished and would clean up ok.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
