About

Pearl knotting is not just for pearls. Pearls are a jewelry box staple and never go out of style. Always in fashion, pearls can be mixed with other gemstones or beads to create a unique, personalized necklace that can be dressed up or worn with a simple tee.

In this 2.5 hour class you will learn pearl knotting techniques and walk out with a new pearl necklace for yourself or for a gift.
