Cultured pearls are often strung on silk thread with a small knot between each pearl. This keeps the pearls from rubbing against each other and prevents all the pearls from cascading to the floor if the necklace should break.

Silk thread is susceptible to wear and tear over time, especially if you wear your jewelry regularly. The fine silk can stretch and weaken, so if you see extra space between the knots that separate the pearls from one another, it could be a sign that the necklace needs to be restrung.
