PROFESSIONAL PEARL RESTRINGING

Pearls deserve the same care and attention as the day they were first worn. Our expert pearl restringing service carefully restores structure and security, preserving their beauty for years to come.

Pearl necklaces are timeless and elegant, but over time the silk thread that holds them together can stretch, weaken or fray. If worn regularly, pearls should be professionally restrung every two years to maintain their security and appearance. For occasional wear, we recommend restringing approximately every four years.

A weakened strand can break without warning, risking damage or loss of your pearls. By restringing before this happens, you protect both the beauty and longevity of your jewellery.

At Lumbers, we carefully assess your necklace or bracelet and provide a clear quotation and estimated timeframe before any work begins. Once approved, your pearls are professionally restrung with precision and care, restoring their structure and ensuring they can be worn confidently once again.

It is normal for a pearl necklace to shorten slightly – sometimes by up to two inches – after restringing, as the stretched silk thread is replaced with a secure new strand.

Pearl restringing is typically completed within 2–3 weeks, depending on the piece and current demand.

You are always welcome to visit us in store or contact our team if you would like advice about caring for your pearls.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD PEARLS BE RESTRUNG?

If worn frequently, we recommend every two years. For occasional wear, every four years is usually sufficient.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY PEARLS NEED RESTRINGING?

Signs include visible stretching between pearls, fraying thread near the clasp, or a strand that feels loose rather than secure.

WILL MY NECKLACE BE SHORTER AFTER RESTRINGING?

Yes, this is normal. Over time silk thread stretches, so when replaced your necklace may shorten slightly.

HOW LONG DOES PEARL RESTRINGING TAKE?

Most pearl restringing services are completed within 2–3 weeks. We will confirm the timeframe when providing your quotation.

CAN YOU REPLACE THE CLASP AS WELL?

If required, we can assess and replace worn or damaged clasps during the restringing process.
