[Jewelry making - Article 00336] - [Orchid] Knotting between beads in a necklace

    I am making a pendant with a azurite chrysacolla square stone, set
    in a chased frame of silver.    A two strand necklace will attach to
    it, made of 6mm azurite chrysacolla round beads, interspersed with
    some 4mm lapis, and 4mm silver beads. 

    My question is when I string the necklace, do I use silk with knots,
    or a beadalon (or similar) product without knots? 

    All the holes in the beads are nicely drilled, very even, without
    rough edges, so that I believe the silk would be a safe option;  what
    I don't is what conventions there are for when knotting is used
    between beads. It will be an expensive piece, with the pendant
    detachable to use as a separate brooch, so I want it to be as classy
    as possible. 

Thanks in advance,
Marcie mullaney
