Hi everyone, I stumbled into this thread yesterday and I LOVE all the pictures of your pearls! I always love how pearls look. I have a couple of freshwater pearls necklaces and a bracelet that I wear all the time, and they're not even expensive but they are my treasured possession! Looking at your pearls pictures made me want to get into this world of pearls, I did not know there are so many varieties. I can see how this can quickly become an obsession.

Anyway, here are some the pictures of my pearls:

I have the double strand for a while now and I can see the string has become loose in some parts. I'm worried that it might break soon. Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Sorry if the pictures are gigantic, I don't know how to resize them.

There are tutorials on Youtube on how to string pearls & also on Pearl Guide, there's a tutorial on the Lowly Beaders Forum.

Thank you!
How do you restrung a necklace? Is there a place to do that and will that be expensive? Or can I do it myself? I know nothing about jewelry making.

Here's the thread I used on Pearl Guide to learn: https://www.pearl-guide.com/forum/s...inging-Pearls-on-Beader-s-Secret-or-Power-Pro

I got my starter kit supplies from PatriciaSaabDesigns on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/560521...knotting-starter?ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1

I think you can write to her on Etsy and tell her about your restringing project and she can substitute the standard thread colours that are in her kit (ie white, ivory and gray) with any colour of your choice. Since your pearls are multicolour, you can ask her for advice on which colours to substitute :biggrin:
