Pearl Restringing ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø
We offer cleaning and restringing services for pearls and pearl jewelry. For security and durability it is best to restring pearl necklaces and bead jewelry at least every five years. This is because the cord used to string the pearls deteriorates over time and increases the risk of damage. Doing this reduces the risk of damage to the piece, so you can continue wearing your special pieces and heirloom jewelry.
Signs You Should Restring Your Pearls
Not sure whether you need a pearl and bead restringing service? Some of the most common signs you should bring your pears to a jeweler for this service include:
- The thread became unknotted
- You want a stronger thread material
- The knots appear dirty
- Knots between pearls are uneven
After extended wear, your jewelry piece, specifically a necklace or bracelet, may appear longer due to stretching in the thread. Luckily, restringing the piece will fix all of this and more.
Why Pearl Restringing Matters
Cultured pearls are often strung on silk thread with a knot between each pearl. This keeps the pearls from rubbing against each other and prevents all the pearls from cascading to the floor if the necklace was to break. Silk thread is susceptible to wear and tear, especially if you wear the necklaces all the time. The fine silk can stretch and weaken, so if you see extra space between the knots that separate the pearls from each other, that could be a sign that the necklace needs to be restrung.
Moreover, getting your pearls restrung every five years or as needed keeps your piece looking as elegant as it should. Pearls are delicate and can chip or become discolored over time. During restringing, jewelers replace damaged pearls to help your piece look as good as new again.
Most importantly, restringing prevents the risk of the entire piece breaking. If the string becomes too loose and snaps, you could lose pearls, making repairs more expensive. Also, having a special piece of jewelry break can be heartbreaking because of the item’s personal value.
