    Noel and Alma, Depending on the size of holes in a strand of pearls
    determines if I use one, #3 or two, #1 bead cord/silk...holes in most
    fresh water pearls usually are too small for anything but wire or do
    the time consuming job of drilling each one.,,,,boring time consuming
    and not fun. Like most repairs and jewelry fabrication it what works
    for you and looks best. The only time that the pearls lie funny is
    when the cord is too tight or the holes are drilled off
    center....hope this helps. 

Lisa
