Learn about Pearl & Bead Restringing

You've seen scenes in movies where a woman's pearl strand breaks, sending those little white beads flying everywhere - right? While these depictions may add some drama and intensity to the story, they aren't the most accurate portrayal of the standard technique for pearl stringing. At Arthur's, most pearls are strung on silk thread with durable and discreet knots between each pearl. This thread prevents unsightly and damaging scratches from forming and ensures you won't lose all your pearls if one knot fails. If you wear your pearls regularly, we recommend getting them restrung every two years; otherwise, bring them in as needed to maintain the strength and security of the strand. Pearl restringing starts at $5.95 an inch.
