Thank you very much for showing this video. I am a custom jeweler and have heard about this technique of stringing pearls with out tool, but have never been able to actually witness it.

Of all of the peal companies and pear boutiques I have visited, no one was able to show me this process.

Do know of any other links which show high quality strings methods?

Thank you very much.

@turtletomnaples We are in the process of making another video now utilizing a no-tool method. We should be finished with the edits within the next couple of weeks and then plan to upload it here. Stay tuned!

The pearls are real. That particular strand is a Paspaley, RD1 x T/N2 quality, 17 mm straight-size Australian South Sea.

It is a $250,000 strand of South Sea pearls.

@Acroniscopi Our CEO was in China following a trip to Australia and decided to have the necklace strung there so that it could be worn instead of leaving it in the hotel room. Typically we would not do stringing in China - especially a piece as important as this one.

@Acroniscopi oh wait it was taken in china...so they send those pearls all the way to china to get them strung?

@PearlParadise is this video taken in australia?

What STUNNING klonks!!!

(to borrow Pearl-Guide Caitlin's terminology ^_^ )

Is this the Chinese method once mentioned on P-G?

@pavelgee RD is for round shape. The number one means the shape is perfect. T/N2 is the tightness of the nacre (luster) and orient. It is the second from the top and the highest most will ever see in pearls this large.

@PearlParadise What is "RD1 x T/N2?

Why are you putting all the pearls on the thread and then trying to tie a knot? Put the pearls on one at a time then tie the knot and then go to the next one. Sure takes a lot longer to pull the whole strand through the knot and risks damage to the pearls banging them together...
