Stringing pearls, like coin freshwater pearls is a bit more demanding than stringing regular beads. Most experts don't recommend using a crimp bead with pearls, because the bead can damage the delicate gems. So, how do you put a clasp on your finished project? Some beaders simply tie on a clasp before the first knot between the coin freshwater pearls, but others use a bead tip to cover the knot and attach the clasp. They then tie a knot in front of the bead tip to keep it from coming in contact with the first pearl. Voila, a necklace that is safe for the pearls and still looks attractive and professional!
