[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 77307, member: 201"]Kard, I'm not sure what you were saying? My point was that necklaces with stone beads have a knot between each bead much more often than necklaces with glass beads. The cords in beaded necklaces are very prone to breaking, so more expensive beads like semi-precious stones and pearls are usually strung on a thicker cord, often silk, with a knot placed between each bead. That way, if the cord does break, the beads are less likely to be lost. At least in more recent beaded necklaces, in my experience the quality of the clasp usually does relate to the quality of the beads.[/QUOTE]
