How often should pearls be restrung?

About every two years if you wear them often, every five if they only come out for special occasions.

Why is there a knot between each pearl?

The knots keep the pearls from rubbing against each other, and they stop the whole strand from scattering if the thread ever breaks.

Pearls are strung on silk thread with a knot between each pearl, and that thread picks up dirt and body oil over time until it finally gives out, usually at the worst possible moment. We restring pearl and beaded necklaces at our bench in Arkansas City. If you wear your pearls often, plan on restringing about every two years. If they only come out for special occasions, every five years is usually enough.
