Jewellery Restringing Service

Posted on Nov 17, 2011 in Services

Did you know that we offer a jewellery restringing service?

It is recommended, iin particular, that pearl necklaces and pearl bracelets be restrung every 2 to 3 years unless they are well loved and need more frequent attention! 

We provide a pearl restringing service which includes knotting between pearls or not knotting on thread.  Pearls are often knotted in between for various reasons including to absorb perspiration/dirt and to allow the pearls to sit nicely around the neck.  Valuable pearls should always be knotted as it enhances the beauty of each pearl and in the event that the necklace or bracelet should break, the likelihood of losing any pearls is minimised. 

However with some styles or smaller pearls knotting every inch or not knotting at all achieves a more desirable effect. 

We also provide a restringing service on tigertail which is often used with semi-precious stones and/or beads.  Tigertail consists of many strands of steel wires coated with nylon which can withstand very heavy beads and can be more reliable than thread against sharp edges from stones or beads.  We recommend tigertail be used with heavier beads or semi-precious stones even if they are strung with pearls.  Necklaces can still be twisted and lariats knotted if strung on tigertail.

Please contact us directly in order for us to give you a quote for your restringing request.  We will need to know the length of the necklace/bracelet and a rough idea of the size of the pearl.  Please ensure that the clasp is in good working order or alternatively, we can also provide quotes for new sterling silver or gold clasps.
