In Mahayana Buddhism, it not matter how you tie it - it matters how you treat it. The red cord means luck - blessing / the jade Buddha is for protection and also blessing. When you treat them with respect, it will work somehow as a charm and will lead you to another pieces (I experienced this and many of my friends and relatives know someone who also experienced this strange thing). If you treat them as jewelry, it is jewelry.

I was intrigued and spent a half hour trying to answer this. I am now only slightly less confused. Here are some sites I found and maybe one of them helps you. I know red also means happiness to the Chinese, and I think knots represent wisdom. I thought I should get 2 points for my effort.

You should try and find a Lama to tie it for you.
