Unfortunately yes, you do.
Regarding your other post, can you mail your pearls to a restringer? Pearl Paradise in L.A. does restringing and you could ask them for recommendations about a clasp that would work for you. I'm sure many people ask about that.

I have used a strong sterling silver daisy magnetic clasp for some pieces, but unfortunately it isn't available any more, neither from Rio Grande where I bought them from nor anywhere else I can see on the Internet. I'd be leery of a weak magnetic clasp if the pearls are at all heavy, personally. What size/length pearl necklaces are we talking about?
Can you manage a large hook and eye? Or a toggle?
