Pearl knotting needs three hands; this is the third. The holder grips a bead or pearl between 5 mm and 12 mm and keeps it exactly where you left it, so both of yours are free for threading, knotting and drawing the strand down tight. No more chasing a loose pearl across the bench mid-necklace.

One jaw is scalloped with several profiles to seat different bead sizes securely, and the smooth wooden faces will not scratch delicate pearls or beads. A spring-loaded metal hinge supplies steady, consistent tension — enough grip to hold, never enough to bruise — while the 180 mm length gives comfortable reach and control through detailed work.

  • Features one scalloped jaw with multiple profiles to hold various bead sizes securely.
  • Smooth wooden jaws prevent scratching or marking delicate pearls and beads.
  • Spring-loaded metal hinge provides consistent tension for a reliable grip.
  • Sized to accommodate round beads and pearls from 5 mm to 12 mm in diameter.
  • The 180 mm length offers comfortable reach and control during detailed work.

Who it's for

A practical tool for professional pearl stringers and UK jewellery makers who regularly work with beaded necklaces and bracelets. Also suitable for hobbyists and craft workers requiring a third hand for threading and knotting tasks.

Richard C. ★★★★★

I was skeptical a wooden gadget could make pearl knotting easier, but the 180mm length gives me perfect control and it holds 6mm beads securely without slipping. My knotting speed has definitely improved since I started using this.

Joshua X. ★★★★★

My wrists used to cramp up trying to hold a 6mm pearl and thread it at the same time, but this wooden holder grips the bead securely and keeps it in place so both hands are free. The 180mm length is perfect for getting a solid grip without feeling clumsy, and the wood is smooth with no splinters. It

Alexander ★★★★★

I was skeptical a simple wooden holder could make such a difference, but the grip on beads from 5 to 12 mm is surprisingly secure. I no longer drop pearls when trying to get the needle through. It really does free up both hands for the actual knotting work.
