The process of drilling a pearl requires skill and precision to avoid cracking or damaging the pearl. Typically, a small diamond drill bit is used to make the hole, and the size of the hole will depend on the size of the pearl and the type of jewelry it will be used for. Once the hole is drilled, the pearl can be strung onto a silk or nylon cord or wire, or attached to a metal setting to be incorporated into a larger piece of jewelry. Proper drilling and stringing techniques are essential to ensuring the longevity and beauty of pearl jewelry.

Stringing pearls into a necklace or strands is a process of creating a piece of jewelry using pearls. It involves carefully selecting pearls of uniform size and quality, drilling small holes through each pearl, and then stringing them together to form a necklace or bracelet.

Stringing pearls can be a delicate and time-consuming process, but it is essential for creating high-quality, durable pieces of pearl jewelry. It requires skill and experience, as well as the use of specialized tools and equipment to ensure that the pearls are threaded securely and that the finished piece is both attractive and functional.

Restringing is a common service provided in Pearl Jewelry Service. It refers to the process of re-threading pearls or beads onto a new string or cord. Over time, the original string or cord may become worn or stretched, causing the pearls to loosen or even break. Restringing ensures that the pearls are secure and the necklace or bracelet is safe to wear. During the process, the pearls are carefully removed from the old string, cleaned and inspected for any damage, and then re-threaded onto a new string using knots between each pearl to prevent them from rubbing against each other. The new string is then secured with a clasp or knot, and the necklace or bracelet is ready to be worn again. Restringing can also be an opportunity to update the design of the jewelry by adding or removing pearls or changing the length of the strand.

Grading service in Pearl Jewelry involves evaluating the quality of pearls based on certain criteria such as shape, size, luster, color, and surface quality. Pearl grading helps customers to understand the value and quality of a pearl they are purchasing or already own.

The grading process is typically done by a trained professional who carefully examines each pearl and assigns it a grade based on its quality. The grading system varies depending on the type of pearl, but generally ranges from A (lowest) to AAA (highest) or even AAA+ for exceptionally rare pearls.

Having pearls graded can help determine their market value and make it easier to sell or insure them.

Cleaning service in Pearl Jewelry Service involves the process of removing dirt, oil, and other impurities from the surface of the pearls. Over time, pearls may lose their luster and shine due to exposure to environmental factors and contact with skin oils.

Professional cleaning of pearl jewelry is essential to maintain its beauty and prolong its lifespan. During the cleaning process, the pearl jewelry is gently cleaned using mild detergents and soft brushes to remove any dirt and grime. Care is taken to avoid any damage to the pearls or their setting.

After cleaning, the pearls are carefully dried and polished to restore their natural luster and shine. It is recommended to have pearl jewelry cleaned by professionals every few years to keep it looking its best.
