Pearl And Bead Restringing

Learn about Pearl & Bead Restringing

Cultured pearls and gemstone beads are often strung on silk thread with a hand-fastened knot between each pearl. This keeps fragile pearls and other precious beads from rubbing against each other and can prevent the loss of multiple pearls or beads in the case of a break in your strand.

For security and durability, it is best to restring hand-knotted jewelry every five years. Silk thread, while a great option for knotted jewelry due to its high tensile strength and natural fluid-like drape, is susceptible to wear and tear, especially if you wear your necklace regularly. Fine silk will stretch and weaken over time, so if you see extra space between the knots that separate your pearls from each other, that could be a sign that your necklace needs to be restrung.
