Reasons To Buy Hand Knotted Jewelry

Filled under:

Necklaces and other items are made by stringing beads together. The difference comes in the techniques used, beads or other decorations chosen and the thread used. Purchasing hand knotted jewelry offers a number of advantages, including a more finished appearance. The choice of what to buy is important as there are many suppliers of these items. Experience and skill are needed to produce good quality items.

Jewelry is a very personal item that reflects the style and character of the person wearing it. Hand knotting a piece may result in subtle differences in size, color and shape to any other piece. This adds to its appeal as it is not a mass produced article with no personality. Wearing an original piece like this can help to give a boost of confidence on a special occasion.

These items can be purchased from local stores, markets and from many online suppliers. The variety of styles is wide, offering plenty of choice. It is easy to make a comparison of styles and prices. You may want to choose a classic pearl necklace if you are fond of vintage style or an ethnic looking bracelet made with cord and jade beads if your taste is more Bohemian.

These pieces make wonderful gifts. They have been made with great attention to detail and can be treasured for many years due their durability. Just make sure that you take the style of the person for whom the gift is intended into account.

Silk is one of the threads most frequently used in creating these items. It is best to use in cases where beads are softer, like pearls, natural turquoise or coral. The fact that knotting creates space between the beads, means they do not rub together. This prevents them from getting scratched. Scratches or fractures allow dirt in, causing more damage.

Using silk thread also seems to allow beads, particularly pearls, to have more movement and flow. The thread used can be a perfect color to match the beads used or a contrasting color thread can be chosen to add interest. Silk comes in many different colors, allowing for a range of aesthetically pleasing results.

Another responsibility of the person making the product is the type of thread to use and whether to use a double or single strand. All decisions are made to enhance the beauty of the piece and choosing the wrong thread can result in uneven knotting. The knots cannot be too large in comparison to the beads, distracting attention away from them. A big advantage to these knots is that when a strand breaks, only one bead is affected. You do not have to pick up scattered beads.

The craft is an exacting one, requiring experience. If you are buying from an online source, it is important to select a reputable supplier who will not let you down. Reading the terms and conditions on a site as well as reviews written by other customers is one way of helping you make a decision. Well made pieces have a quality finish and will give pleasure for many years.
