My mother had a pearl stringing/knotting business in the 1950's and taught dozens of women how to knot giving them a means to earn a living. Mom's employees did all the knotting for all the largest Dept stores in NYC including Macy's, Gimbels, Lord & Taylor, B. Altmans, Saks, etc, etc. The end of the necklace used something called a "tip." either in gold color or silver. I actually have the remains of her business with 1000's of these tips available. They finish the necklace beautifully.

I love the look of a knotted Pearl necklace and use the clamshells for my closings...

I really like the idea of the French Wire and will have to give that a try.

Thanks for the great info...
