In more costly pearl necklaces (like those using round 7mm and 8mm pearls) you will find that the necklace is knotted between each pearl. This is traditional technique and is said to improve the overall appearance of the necklace. The knotting technique also prevents the pearls from rubbing against one another and, if the strand breaks, it means you won't have pearls rolling all over the place. Smaller, differently shaped pearls look odd if they are knotted. Still, you should consider putting a small knot between every 5 or 10 pearls just in case of an accident.
