Why Re-String Your Pearls?
Pearls should be professionally re-strung every few years depending on how often they're worn.
Over time, silk thread naturally stretches, weakens and becomes discoloured, increasing the risk of breakage and lost pearls.
Professional re-stringing helps:
Protect valuable pearls
Restore the necklace's appearance
Prevent accidental breakage
Improve drape and comfort
Preserve sentimental heirloom pieces
