    He may be right if they are badly knotted, but done properly there
    is no reason for them not to hang right. The knots achieve several
    things, they: protect the pearls from rubbing on each other, minimise
    the risk of losing them should the cord break, and maximise the
    string length for a given set of pearls. Besides, it also "looks"
    more professional.
