Pearl restringing

[ajoh3142]

Hello Everybody - Who do you all recommend for sending pearl necklaces to for restringing. There is no one in my area that does this, and I want a truly professional job. Thanks for any input!

I'm curious about this as well. I have a set that are 22" long and I'd prefer them to be shorter (18").

I know you can mail them to pearl paradise... I'm not sure of any other companies online that do it.

There are no local places that do it? Even if they don't sell pearls they might still do it. It might be worth it to ask around.
You could ALSO learn to do it yourself... some people do it :

If you have many strands or expensive pearls , it's worth your while to learn how to do it yourself. You can buy a kit with most of the items and video which teaches you how to do it at Rio Grande. http://www.riogrande.com/Product/Tri-Cord-Knotter-Stringing-Kit/635320?pos=2
