Category: Jewellery Making Tools

For stringing and restringing pearls, gemstones and beads with a knot seated hard against every bead. The two-pronged fork holds the thread taut while the knot forms; the fine-pointed steel awl places it exactly where it needs to sit before you draw it tight. First bead to last, the knots come out the same — the difference between a trade restring and a hobby one. Restringing turns up constantly among common bench repairs, so this tool earns its keep quickly.

The smooth, shaped beech handle stays comfortable through a long strand, and a polished metal finger guard steadies the working hand for control. The working ends are steel; wipe them dry after use and they will keep their point.

  • Smooth, shaped beech wood handle for a comfortable, non-fatiguing grip.
  • Fine-pointed steel awl for precise manipulation and placement of the knot.
  • Two-pronged fork holds the thread taut whilst the knot is formed and tightened.
  • Polished metal finger guard provides stability and control during operation.
  • Creates tight, consistent knots for securing pearls, gemstones and beads.

Who it's for

A core tool for UK pearl stringers, bench jewellers, and jewellery students undertaking repairs or creating new beaded necklaces. Also suitable for hobbyists who favour trade-grade tools for reliable results.

Samuel ★★★★★

The beech wood handle fits perfectly in my hand, making the knotting process smooth and steady. The steel awl is sharp enough to position knots exactly against each bead without slipping.

Owen T. ★★★★★

Finally, a knotting tool that doesn't slip when I pull the thread tight. The steel awl is surprisingly sharp and precise for tucking the knot against each bead.

Charlotte G. ★★★★★

I’ve been stringing pearls for years and this tool finally makes the process feel effortless—the two-pronged fork holds the thread tight while the knot forms, so every bead sits exactly where it should. The beech wood handle gives a comfortable grip that doesn’t slip, even after an hour of knotting.
