DIY pearl necklace repair

The malachite beads and pearl beads in this article are very old jewelry that had been crumbling for a long time and the torn beads lay folded in bags. But malachite is one of my favorite stones, and I really wanted malachite beads. If there weren't these, it would be possible to buy new ones (see in the gallery below what they are doing today).

But they are not cheap, and to buy the second, when one is lying. I had to get it out and repair it.

At first I thought to make them fastenable - from old beads and from sets with beads there were both fishing line and several types of fasteners. So I began to collect, but - I managed to make one side of the fastener neatly, the second - not very much, so I took it off on both sides, and just tied the ends of the fishing line tightly with many knots - the length of the beads allows you to put them over your head.

The repair is very far from ideal - you can wear it, and I wear it for now, but - apparently this is temporary. I like it much more when the beads (or at least the front part, where the beads are large) are collected through knots - then, even if the beads break, they will not crumble. Well, with a clasp, of course, is also more familiar.

I left several malachite beads - the smallest - on the dolls.

At the same time, I repaired the same scattered old pearl beads. Here already - with a fastener, otherwise you will not wear them in any way - they are under the neck. I had to redo it twice - the first time at the fastener I overdid it with glue - when it dried out, it did not fasten. I collected it on another, large fastener - there you tie the fishing line by hooks, you can pull what does not dangle.

In general - also not 100% joy of course, but - on the other hand, two beads are again “in the arsenal”. Where and how to fix it is still a question.

"Source" - torn beads, natural malachite - new ones cost about 3000, I had to repair it 🙂

at one end the clasp was held, at the other it was torn - and the thread is very old, dilapidated

on top - the source, below - I collect on the fishing line

ready-made version (apparently temporary) - just tied the fishing line tightly, put on over the head, well long

torn pearl beads, also old

ready-made beads assembled on a new line

bags with stones, clasps, etc. little things - for dolls, repairs, etc.

and these are beads - modern options, all - natural malachiteBeads are round from natural malachite. Bead diameter 11 mm, product length 48 cm.

Round necklace made of natural malachite. The diameter of the bead is 10 mm, the length of the item is 47 cm.

Natural malachite beads. Product length 44 cm.

Natural malachite beads. Product length 45 cm.

A separate article about malachite beads:

I myself have been doing repairs for a long time (buyers often bring their old beads to the section to be repaired), so I want to share some tricks. Firstly, NEVER use fishing line, it tends to burst with constant bends (in the fastener area, for example) instead of it, take a thread on a silk or nylon base (there are now a lot of these in departments with all kinds of accessories for sewing, and there are different colors and thicknesses, and the color thread is important if there is a bust through a knot). Such threads are very strong (if you try to break them faster, you will injure your finger 🙂 plus the beads lay down softly even if they were not fingered through the knot (in the case of the fishing line, they usually stand with a “stake”, especially if the fishing line is thick). Well, making knots with them is also quite simple. Take a double thread and after tying the knot, pull the ends apart in different directions, tightening the knot as close to the bead as possible.the thread is silk, smooth, then the knot will “pull up” to the bead without any problems (the only thing we take into account is the thickness of the thread in accordance with the hole: the bead should not “fly” through the resulting knot). That's all, we choose the thickness we need and repair the beads without any problems! By the way, pomoimu fasteners should also be sold in such stores with accessories!

Irisha, thank you very much, I didn't know how to assemble them correctly. And so it happened - I really have a stake, I don’t like it, they don’t lie evenly, well, plus I didn’t do well with the fastener the first time. Now I will redo it.
And such threads do not deteriorate from moisture.
The fact that they are strong is yes, I know such, even a thin one cannot be torn IN ANY way, but in 2 additions, or if you buy a thicker one.

In general, we will go to the sewing shop. :-)) I will redo it, otherwise my beloved malachite, and not happy. 🙂 More precisely, pleases, but not as much as we would like. 🙂

But that the line was breaking - I didn’t even know, I thought its drawback was only “rudeness” and the fact that the shape of the beads was not “soft”.

Well, the fishing line is not something that breaks, it just, like an aluminum wire, will break after many bends (but this mostly refers to a rather thick line). If they deteriorate from moisture, they may just get dirty (and sometimes they bring beads from 50 years ago, so there is so much dirt in the holes of the beads that you have to clean it with a needle !!), but in general, periodically (once every 2-3 years), the thread is recommended to be changed if it gets very dirty (for example, on pearls, the thread is white and the knots can get dirty over time), but if you have a whole coil of thread, this is all done without any problems yourself !!

In general, look at your purchased beads there you will immediately understand everything! Take a longer thread, fold it 2 times and turn it over the lock on one side, and then you will completely collect the beads and tie a knot on the other side of the lock, be sure to leave the tails somewhere 1cm and lightly burn with a match. The ends will melt and a fused droplet will form which will not allow your knot to untie! And be sure to try with knots, there are no problems, the main thing is to fill your hand! Nobody taught me either, at first it didn’t seem to work, and then I understood how it should be and everything went smoothly, and it was not difficult! Now I'm sorting out all the beads for myself, I collected white pearls through a knot for myself, and long agates with a photo in general from two short beads I collected through a knot! The whole trick is in the threads, they must be nylon, silky only on the teak knot you can fit right up to the bead!

Well, if the holes in the beads are very large (there are such that any knot flies) then you can insert the beads between the beads and it also looks good!

I have very small holes in malachite, the knot will not fly through, I think, it remains only to get good nylon threads. I have an Iris coil - this is cotton, although it does not break, they are not assembled on such.
I looked at the knots on beads, but I didn't try to do it, I'll just practice on a string first, until it's very clear how to do it.

But it is interesting - I have these malachite beads only in front of large balls, then small - small ones are also collected through a knot, or they do it in such a way that large ones through a knot, and then it's simple.

As you wish, you can do everything through the knot, I think it will be beautiful !! As for the iris, I don’t know, try it, but it seems to me that the knot is not slippery enough to pull it up to the bead and there will be ugly distances! I think it’s better for you to go to the store right with the bead and the desired thickness and color! I have always collected on nylon on iris and never tried it! And as for how to make nodules, I will try to put pictures or photos!

Well, I can’t post the photos so far. at the moment there is no repair, but here is a picture:

THANK YOU. In general, everything is clear according to the scheme. So - nylon thread, and the ends of the thread - to the sides! Understood, it seems really easy, then after each bead I will make a knot!
The truth is, I’ll probably get to the store only that week, or even later. Everything has skidded - there is no road! 🙂 And it's cold to boot. :-))
Malachite has already taken out and put it aside, it is very interesting to reassemble in a human way! 🙂

Well, good luck to you !! 🙂 Write how you collect it! I hope everything will work out! As soon as you unwind more threads, the knots “eat up” a lot of threads!

Yeah, as I understand it, you need to take 2 times more thread, or even more.
How to rebuild - I will publish! 🙂

I bought dark green threads, I'm getting ready to reassemble the beads, I just have time to find. 🙂

Well, how are the beads? haven't touched yet ??

Nope, I can't get myself together yet, but the main thing is that there are threads. Hope to sit down this week. like there are no urgent cases, it will be necessary to reassemble. 🙂

I reassembled everything on a thread without a clasp, did not become with knots (I realized that this is too long for me - a lot of small beads, it’s very hard with clumsy hands). 🙂
Much better than on the line !! They sit softer, just right.

Thanks for the tips and photos of the nodes! Today I bought a transparent mono - thread, tomorrow I will try to collect beads from pearls.

Rimma looked at your recommendations very much, I liked it through the bundle. Thank you very much. I will make my beads, I will take into account all your insistence

And if the nodules get dirty from creams on a string with pearls, what will it look like? How to clean?

There is no way, I think, just to rebuild. But in general, when they wear jewelry, they do not use creams (and perfume), this is detrimental to jewelry.
If the stones are dark, you can take a dark thread, it will be invisible.

Please tell me how you can free the bead from the stuck thread in it. Pearl beads were strung through the knots, the clasp came off, a thread got stuck in some of the beads, apparently, the knot got inside. The needle only goes through beads, but it breaks, but there is no result.

Do not even know. Only with a needle, probably no more, try to push in one direction or the other.

Girls, thanks for the valuable advice!

I read it with interest, everything is informative, I will try to collect it myself and I will definitely inform you. Thanks a lot. Good luck to all .

This article describes in detail how to create beads from pearls and other medium-sized beads with knots between the beads. To create such beads, it is recommended to use a special knot tying tool (knotter), allowing you to tie a knot as close to the bead as possible. As a result of using a knotter, you will get neat, professionally knitted beads.

Choose how long the finished jewelry will be (beads, necklace, bracelet).

Cut the thread four times as long as the finished piece will be.

Thread the needle. Align the two ends of the thread (to make the thread double) and tie a knot at the end.

Using a needle, place two beads and a clasp over the thread. Move them as close to the knot as possible (as shown in the figure).

Pass the needle and thread through the bead closest to the clasp in the opposite direction.

Pull the thread so that there is a distance of 2-3 cm between the beads. Using the main thread and the thread between the two beads, tie a single knot. Pull the knot as close as possible to the bead closest to the clasp.

Pass the thread and needle through the hole in the second bead (farthest from the fastener) in the opposite direction.Move the bead as close to the knot behind the first bead as possible.

Tie a single knot without pulling it tight using the warp thread and the knotted thread. Insert a knotter needle into the knot and pull the knot as close to the bead as possible. Place the thumb in which you are holding the knotter on the underside of the knotter's protruding metal platform. Pass the warp thread through the knotter fork and pull the thread so that the knotter fork is as close to the knot as possible.

Pull the warp thread firmly, bring the knot to the top of the knotter's needle and press the knotter's platform with your thumb upward (see illustration). As a result of these actions, the knot will slide off the knotter's needle and at the same time will be tied as close to the bead as possible.

Put on the next bead. Make a knot loop using your warp thread. With a knotter needle in this loop, repeat steps 8 and 9. Wear the beads and tie knots behind each bead until the last two beads remain. Put the last two beads on a thread, but do not tie knots behind them.

Place the clasp on the working thread and thread the last bead in the opposite direction. Pull the thread so that the clasp is as close to the beads as possible.

Tie a strong knot between the last two beads.

Pass the end of the thread through the hole in the penultimate bead in the opposite direction.

Cut off the remaining thread from both sides of the jewelry. For reliability, you can fix the knots at the outermost beads with glue.
