JEWELRY REPAIR | PEARL RESTRINGING

Pearl restringing is one of the services we offer at AJ's Jewelry. Unfortunately, normal wear and tear, exposure to salt water, chlorine from the pool, perfumes, sleeping with your necklace on and hair spray eat away and weaken the string holding the pearls together. When your pearl necklace snaps that is when you know its time to get your pearl necklace restrung at AJ's Jewelry. Our pearl restringing expert ties a knot in between each pearl to ensure they stay in place and minimize loss when your necklace breaks. Our restringing experts do not only work on pearls, we've had work done to jewelry such as amber, precious gemstones, glass, wood, metal, and various other materials.

General Prices

Pearl restringing starts at $60 and goes up depending on factors such as the number of pearls and length of the chain. Come to AJ's in Ridgewood Queens for your free pearl restringing estimate.

Pearl Restringing — Queens, NY

Over time, the silk or nylon thread on pearl necklaces and bracelets stretches, weakens, and can break — causing pearls to scatter. Professional restringing by AJ's Jewelry in Ridgewood ensures your pearl jewelry is secure and beautiful for years to come.

We restring pearl necklaces and bracelets using high-quality silk thread, knotted between each pearl. Knotting between pearls is important: if the thread breaks, only one or two pearls fall loose instead of the entire strand. It also keeps pearls from rubbing against each other and damaging their nacre.

The restringing process involves removing all pearls from the existing strand, cleaning the drill holes, selecting the right thread gauge, and restringing with fresh thread and secure knots. We finish with a new clasp if the existing one is worn or damaged.

Pearl restringing is recommended every 2–3 years for frequently worn strands, or whenever you notice the thread darkening, stretching, or fraying. Bring your pearl strand to 57-44 Myrtle Ave, Ridgewood, Queens, or call (718) 628-4499 for a repair estimate.
