Expert Restringing for Pearls and Fine Beaded Jewelry
Your pearls deserve the same elegance and strength they had when you first wore them. At Vinca Jewelry, we specialize in professional pearl restringing and knotting — ensuring your heirloom or everyday pearls remain as stunning and secure as ever. Whether it’s a vintage Mikimoto necklace, a beaded bracelet, or a pearl threader earring, our experts handle each piece with precision and care.
Our Materials & Techniques
We use only the finest silk threads — known for their strength, smoothness, and flexibility. Each pearl is hand-knotted to prevent rubbing and loss if the strand ever breaks.
Natural Silk Thread
Traditional, elegant, and flexible.
Synthetic Cord
Durable and ideal for daily-wear pieces.
Special Bead Cord
Griffin, Beadalon, etc. — For designer and vintage restringing.
Custom-Colored Threads
To complement unique pearl shades.
Signs Your Pearls Need Restringing
You should restring your pearls every 1–2 years, or sooner if you notice:
Loose or stretched thread between pearls
Discoloration of thread (yellowing or fraying)
Pearls moving freely or uneven spacing
Visible gaps near the clasp
You wear them frequently (natural oils can weaken silk)
