    That depends on your quality standard. 

    Using double strand will make knot too big and impossible to hide.
    Besides while sliding the knot to tighten, the strands will stretch
    slightly different and that will give noticeable disharmony in final
    appearance. In fine jewellery knots must there, but must not be
    visible and curvature of the necklace must be graceful. Square knots
    create flat spots in necklace appearance. When person wearing
    necklace moves, the necklace must follow the movement smoothly so the
    light reflections would not have abrupt transitions. Using square
    knots will make it impossible.
