| Cindy: I haven't found that Griffin High Performance knots particularly well. Firemountain has exceptionally fine needles, the size of a hair which may work for you. You can try a larkshead knot to keep the thread on the needle if you determine you don't want to double the thread, but yes, gemstones will shread most stringing materials.
