Measuring the thread is easy: take 4 times the length of the finished necklace and you will do fine! If this was the first try you did very well indeed. Of course if she will wear it often it might be a good idea to make a perfect re-stringing job now You know how to do it! Show her first what you did and make it even better, use heavy gimp then the size E thread will go over the doubled thread without problems. Length of gimp: ca. 0,6 mm. Pretty photo!
