Pearl And Bead Restringing

Learn about Pearl & Bead Restringing

Pearl and bead necklaces are strung on silk or nylon cord that weakens over time, especially when worn regularly. If the cord stretches, discolors, or breaks, you risk losing stones and potentially losing the piece entirely. At Hingham Jewelers, our pearl and bead restringing service gives your strands new life using quality silk cord with individually knotted spacing between each pearl or bead. The knots serve two purposes: they protect the pearls from rubbing against each other and they ensure that if the cord ever does break, you lose at most one stone rather than the entire strand. We also inspect and replace clasps as needed, and we can resize a strand if your preferred length has changed. Our team handles freshwater pearls, akoya pearls, South Sea pearls, Tahitian pearls, coral, turquoise, lapis lazuli, and other bead materials. If you have not had your pearl necklace restrung in the past few years, or if you notice spacing between the knots or any discoloration of the cord, bring it in. The service is quick and the difference is immediate.
