Give Your Pearls a New Lease of Life
Pearls are timeless and when they’re well looked after, you can enjoy wearing them for decades. Pearl earrings, pearl necklaces and bracelets are something you can wear on a daily basis, and they elevate any outfit. To keep both natural pearl and cultured pearl jewellery in good condition, it’s important to have the pearls cleaned regularly and get any jewellery repairs carried out by professionals.
We’re happy to examine your pearls or beads, and advise you of any work that might need to be done to keep them looking their best. We work closely with a highly skilled pearl stringer who carries out this age-old tradition to a very high standard. With our help, you can make sure your pearl earrings, necklaces and bracelets are not just looking their best, but remain a good investment for many years to come. We can see from the total length of the silk thread whether your freshwater pearls would benefit from re stringing, and let you know of any other problems that could result in pearls being lost or damaged.
Our Jewellery Restringing Services
Restringing – Plain or Knotted
It’s important to check the condition of your row of pearls or beads, as the silk can wear, stretch or break over time. We work closely with a re stringing expert to ensure pearl stringing is carried out to the highest standard, with prices starting from £50 for plain strung or £60 for knotted. Knotting is when the stringer ties a small knot in between each bead or pearl, which stops the whole pearl necklace from becoming unthreaded if a break were to occur. We can also help with semi-precious and precious gem re stringing on silk thread or wire.
Alterations
If you’ve inherited some pearl or bead jewellery and would like to remodel or revamp it, we’re here to help. For previous clients, our expert stringers have done everything from adding or changing clasps to redesigning a multi-strand piece of jewellery into a short, single-row bracelet. Even if you have loose pearls that you would like to turn into a bespoke piece, we can bring your ideas to life. From pearl chokers to pearl earrings, our service is incredibly versatile and we can also help with pearl cleaning.
Not Just Pearls
In addition to natural and cultured pearls, we restring other types of jewellery. Over the years we have restrung many different types of necklaces and bracelets, including rows that have been favourites for years or ones just passed down with treasured sentimental value. We often restring other items – stone beads, like coral and amber, as well as precious stone beads, like emeralds, tanzanite and rubies. With over 60 years of family experience, there's not much our restringer hasn’t worked on. You can turn to us in confidence to help you keep your jewellery in good condition. Alongside our re stringing services, we offer a comprehensive repair service, so you can continue to enjoy your pieces for years to come.
