If your pearl necklace or pearl bracelet has broken, it can be very annoying. It quickly feels bare and is a loss in your daily outfit. Especially if it has sentimental value, you would prefer it to be repaired as soon as possible. That is not a problem at Juwelier van Dam in Ermelo. We have been experts in knotting pearls for 50 years and are happy to help you with this problem. Do not hesitate and make an appointment with our goldsmith. On this page we will explain a few things about knotting pearls.

Benefits of Pearl Knots

In addition to knotted pearl necklaces and pearl bracelets, you also have pearl jewelry without knots. We do not recommend this, because pearl jewelry with knots offers so many advantages.

The biggest advantages of having pearls knotted are:
 ● The pearls will be less likely to get damaged. This is because the pearls do not come close to the knot and cannot rub against each other.
● The buttons provide more space between the pearls. This creates flexibility for the pearl jewelry. This makes the pearl necklace or pearl bracelet fall smoothly.
● When the nylon thread of the pearl necklace or pearl bracelet breaks, not all the pearls will immediately roll over the ground. This is prevented by the knots.
● Knotted pearl jewelry is simply stronger than non-knotted pearl jewelry.

All of the above benefits mean you will enjoy your pearl jewelry for a long time.

Difference between knotting pearls or stringing pearls

There are two different types of pearl jewelry, namely knotted pearl jewelry and strung pearl jewelry. With knotted pearl jewelry, there are knots between the pearls. With strung pearl jewelry, this is not the case. Knotted pearl jewelry has more advantages than strung pearl jewelry. For example, it is better protected against damage, because the pearls cannot collide with each other. Even when a pearl jewelry breaks, not all the pearls will immediately roll off. These are stopped by the knots.

Maintaining pearls

Pearl jewelry is one of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry that exist. They often look chic, elegant and are a real eye-catcher. It is therefore important to maintain the pearls as well as possible, because then you will enjoy your pearl necklace or pearl bracelet the longest. We are happy to help you with this and give you some tips:

● Avoid chemicals such as perfume, make-up, cleaning products,
detergents, vinegar, chlorine, etc.
● Store your pearl jewelry at room temperature and out of direct sunlight
● Have your pearls re-knotted every 5 years

We also recommend using Hagerty Fine Stones Clean . This is a cleaning bath for deep cleaning and care of pearl jewelry. Hagerty uses a formula based on glycerine and vegetable solvents for this cleaning agent. This protects the jewelry and removes harmful perspiration, vinegar, make-up and perfume. You should immerse the pearl jewelry in the cleaning bath for 2 minutes. Then rinse it with warm water and dry it with a soft cloth.
