Pearl re-stringing Service
As a guideline, if you wear your pearls weekly or more often, you are probably going to need to re-string once every couple of years or so.
If you are wearing your pearls once a month or less, then re-stringing every three or four years will usually suffice. Look carefully between your pearls at the thread.
If it is bright white (original thread - white), they probably do not need re-stringing. if the thread is greasy, turning grey or you can see dirt accumulation, especially near the drill hole of the pearl, it is probably time to have them re-strung. the longer you leave it, the more difficult re-stringing can be as the thread can get stuck in the drill hole.
Restringing Costs
Our minimum charge for re-stringing is £18.00. However, we are flexible in our pricing for this service as requirements may be different, so do please call or e-mail for an accurate quotation.
For smaller pearls/smaller drill holes, two strands will be used, four strands for larger pearls/drill holes. A single or double knot is made between each pearl, again dependant on pearl size. Both ends which attach to the clasp will be finished with silver or gold coloured spiral wire.
We recommend that you use Royal Mail Special Delivery (Insured Service) or other secure insured delivery service to send us your pearls. Until we receive your pearls, we cannot accept any responsibility for them.
Additionally, we will supply you with a black velvet pouch for each re-strung item.
We can re-string your faux or imitation pearls as well. Call us for a free, no-obligation quote.
If you would like any restringing on some of your favourite pieces you can contact us by email with your request.
