FRESHWATER PEARLS
Our freshwater pearl necklaces and bracelets are hand-threaded onto premium beading silk thread. Silk thread is the recommended thread for beading pearls, however the thread can loosen over time and may require re-stringing in time. If this is case, please get in contact with us and we'll be happy to help for a fee. To avoid any scratching of pearl beads we recommend wearing your pearls as often as possible and storing them away from potential damage when not in use.
