I want to make some knotted gem necklaces using smallish faceted stones (around 5 - 6mm). I would normally use wire and wrap each stone but I want the look of a strung necklace and I'm not hugely keen on beading wire. I was looking to use something like Griffin Nylon Power as a silk alternative but I'm concerned that the stones would be too abrasive for this method. Has anyone had any experiences with this - good or bad?

TIA, Rachel
