Best Answer

Pearls are knotted to prevent them from rubbing against each other, which can cause wear and tear on the pearl's surface. Knotting also helps to prevent loss of multiple pearls in case the strand breaks, as each pearl is individually secured by the knot.

How can you make a pearl necklace stretch?

No, the pearls on a pearl necklace are drilled though their centres and a string is threaded though the hole. The string is knotted on each side of each pearl on the string so that the pearls do not slip round the string or fall off the string if it breaks (you will lose one to the ground if this happens). Thus if you try and stretch the necklace all that will happen is the string will break and you will have to pay to have the necklace re strung. If the necklace is too short then your only option is to have more (matching) pearls added to the necklace to make it longer.
