The Importance of Restringing Your Jewelry Regularly at Richard's

Restringing is often overlooked as a critical part of jewelry maintenance. It involves replacing the thread or wire that holds certain pieces of jewelry together, such as pearls or beaded necklaces. At Richard's Custom Jewelers, we employ skilled artisans who are experts in the art of restringing. They are meticulous, ensuring that each bead is perfectly secured, and the spacing is just right for an attractive, sturdy finish.


Why is Restringing Important?


Many individuals don’t realize the significance of restringing until their beloved piece of jewelry falls apart. Over time, the threads or wires that connect the beads or pearls in your jewelry wear thin and become frayed. This risk increases if you frequently wear your pieces or if they are exposed to perfume, lotion, or sweat. Regularly restringing your jewelry at Richard's not only maintains the integrity and longevity of your piece but also secures your precious beads or pearls from being lost due to sudden string breakage.


When Should You Restring?


The ideal frequency for restringing depends on how often you wear your jewelry. However, a general rule of thumb is to restring pearl necklaces annually if you wear them often. For pieces that are used less regularly, restringing every three to five years is usually sufficient. At Richard's, our experts can also provide personalized advice based on the specific material and creation of your jewelry.
