Hi everyone! I finally have the chance to ask your all-powerful knowledge. 

I recently bought a 80 inch string of cultured freshwater pearls that my mother wants me to convert into one double-stranded choker necklace and one single strand of pearls. The strand of pearls that I got is meant to be worn as a looping necklace and has spacer knots between every pearl. My question is this: Is having a spacer knot between each pearl something that's necessary to protect the pearls or can I just string them next to each other? Frankly, I'd rather not have to figure out how to make tiny, evenly spaced knots and that's a pain in the pattotey. 

Also, a secondary question is what I should use for string. I can either get wire or nylon string. I'm more comfortable with wire because I know that I can attach the necessary findings and they won't fall off for sure, and while string is a little more slippery and therefore a little less secure in my eyes, it just seems like it would be a little more....idk "elegant'? Any ideas on how to make secure knots with nylon string that won't come undone? 

Thank you much! I'll make sure to keep you guys posted once everything is done. :))
