ABOUT THIS SERVICE

Pearl And Bead Stringing

Pearls and Bead Stringing don’t only provide you with luxury, they need a little luxury themselves. Fine quality pearls live longest when strung on a silk cord. The silk is gentle enough not to wear on the pearl, while each bead is knotted in place, ensuring the pearls aren’t unnecessarily rubbing each other. Over time, the silk cord can wear down itself, so depending on how often you wear your pearls, they will have to be re-strung from time to time.

what we do

Keep your pearls looking precious.

Silk cord is traditionally used because it is gentle on pearls and helps protect their delicate surface. Each pearl is individually hand-knotted, which reduces friction between beads and provides an added safeguard if the strand were ever to break, only one pearl would fall instead of the entire necklace. This meticulous technique ensures both beauty and protection.
