The Entire Necklace! Don't get your pearls restrung unless you've read this... You should count your pearls in front of your jeweler when bringing them in for repair. Your jeweler should record the amount of pearls on the repair envelope and on your receipt. This is an easy measure for your own security and peace of mind.

It is that pearls get lost, and fortunately the jewelers we work with are honest and trustworthy. (Outside of that, those few who aren't, usually don't stay in business very long) However, , a pearl could wind up outside of your repair envelope, especially if you bring in loose pearls. Remember: pearls are round little critters and can roll away by default. Only if your jeweler knows the correct amount of your pearls, can he or she ensure that the little stray orb gets reunited with its friends. Each and every string will stretch over time. If it's done correctly, your necklace will be knotted very tight, to where no pearl (or bead) has room to move.

That's only natural: the knots themselves add length to your strand. How much longer will it be?
