#knottedbeads

Repair job for client the Point Reyes Jeweler. Have you checked your pearls? Are they ready for holiday parties? If you can wiggle a pearl that’s tied between knots, you need your necklace restrung, before it stretches and breaks! . #pearls #chalcedony #chalcedonybeads #culturedpearls #knottedpearls #knottedbeads #silkhandknotted #pearlstringing #pearlrestringing #knotworking #canistringyourpearls #canistringyourbeads #goldclasp #kanji https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Bw_ZDJ_y5/?igshid=7pe2aklutq5f

Recently I visited a bead store in an upscale Bay Area neighborhood. While there I glanced at their Services menu and was convinced that I couldn’t be seeing knotted stringing at $1.50 Per Knot. Don’t they mean per Inch? I asked. Nope. $1.50 per knot. So I sat with that till I got back to Ukiah, where my stringing stuff lives. Today I made this. These pearls are roughly 3mm across and drilled in odd ways because they are irregular shapes. I also have a sick headache and still jet-lagged from the time change. This has 137 knots. I did it in 45 minutes. Including putting the pearls on the needle. So this store would have charged you $205.50 to string this. And probably add a surcharge because tiny pearls. We are talking charging $275.00 An Hour. I charge by the inch. As much as I’d like to be making $275.00 an hour. Or even a day. Even two days. . #knottedsilkstringing #pearlstringing #knottedpearls #reasonablepricing #knottedbeads #gloating #asif https://www.instagram.com/p/B4oB-OzJEDu/?igshid=1sfki4os25n5
