What kind of string should be used to re-string a broken bead necklace?
This is not a metal necklace. How good is fishing line to replace the broken string? Is there another kind of wire normally used for this? What kind of knot is best to tie it with? What kind of clasp would be best to put on it?
Go to a craft store like Michaels, AC Moore or Joanne's. Fishing line would be a good choice, but there are products specifically made for jewelry making/repair at the craft stores. It's pretty cheap too, so why not? Just go to the bead section at either store and they will have a wide array of string, clasps and beads. Maybe while you are repairing the necklace you could find some new beads for it too? I think the lobster clasp is the best...it seems to be the most sturdy and durable. Here are some tips for putting your necklace back together correctly:
