Hello Dale,

    IMHO, I think that pearls should always be knotted to provide a
    little cushion between the pearls. I also like the way a knotted
    strand "puddles" rather than being stiff. 

    These unknotted pearls are a gift. If you restring and knot these
    pearls, you'll have a longer strand. OR with a little planning, you
    could stop at 18 inches for the strand, and make matching earrings
    from the left-over pearls. 

    Just a thought, 
    Judy in Kansas, who is wondering what the going rate is for
    restringing and knotting pearl strands. I'm curious.
