Why Pearls Are Strung on Silk Thread
Quality pearls are traditionally strung on silk thread for its natural beauty, flexibility, and strength.
Each pearl is hand-knotted individually, which:
- Preserves each pearl if the strand breaks
- Prevents pearls from rubbing against each other
- Reduces surface wear and scratching
- Maintains proper spacing and alignment
Our experienced stringers use fine, high-quality silk cords to ensure your restringing lasts as long as possible while preserving the natural flow of the strand.
How Often Should Pearls Be Restrung?
As a general guideline, pearls should be restrung every 3–5 years, depending on how often they are worn. More frequent wear may require earlier restringing.
You may need restringing if you notice:
- Stretching or sagging between pearls
- Discoloration or fraying of the thread
- Gaps between pearls
- A strand that hasn’t been restrung in several years
When in doubt, we’re happy to inspect your pearls in person.
