There might come a time when you want to add pearls to an existing necklace either to create a longer necklace or you recently discovered pearls stored away in your jewelry box. Before you decide to add pearls, you’ll want to be sure the new found pearls are compatible with your existing pearl necklace. This means the new and existing pearls match each other in size, shape, type and color.
Count and Cut
The process begins by taking careful inventory by counting all the pearls and noting any special characteristics on or surrounding the pearls or chain before any work is done. Then, the silk thread is gently removed separating the peals from the chain so the drill holes are clearly visible for further review.
There's been much speculation about whether it's best to save your pearls for special occasions or wear them every day. Some argue that pearls should only be worn on special occasions because they're delicate and can be easily damaged. Others contest this view by saying that you should wear them every day if that's something you enjoy. So how do you know what's best?
