Pearl jewelry is well loved, especially here in Alabama. But did you know that your pearl strands need maintenance to make sure that they don’t break? Don’t risk your precious pearls–get them restrung occasionally to keep them safe.
Pearl strands are timeless, elegant, and beautiful, but they’re also fragile. Pearls are strung on silk thread or thin wires, with a small knot between each pearl to keep these soft gemstones from rubbing against each other and scratching. But over time, these threads will weaken and, eventually, break. The knots between the pearls can also unravel, causing your pearls to bump against each other.
You can avoid damage to or loss of your pearls by occasionally restringing your pearl strands. Pearl restringing is one of the most common jewelry repairs we provide at Ware Jewelers, and we will have your beloved jewelry back to you–in like-new condition–before you know it!
How often you restring your pearls depends on how often you wear them. If you wear your pearls frequently–once a week or more–then you should take them to a professional jeweler for inspection and possible restringing once a year. If you only wear them on special occasions, then you should take them to a professional jeweler for inspection and possible restringing once every two or three years.
It’s a good idea to keep an eye on the condition of your pearls. If you notice the pearls rubbing together, or if you notice the thread fraying, stretching, or discoloring, then bring your pearls to a professional jeweler regardless of how long it has been since you last had them restrung.
Pearl strands are the sort of gorgeous, versatile pieces that every woman should have in her jewelry collection. Though they are somewhat fragile, they can last a lifetime with proper care. With locations in Auburn, Montgomery, Opelika, and Spanish Fort, Ware Jewelers is your home for pearl restringing in Alabama.
