Having Pearls Restrung

[foxytv]

I am wearing my Mom's pearls with my dress, but the necklace is broken, so I have a baggie full of loose pearls. They are a champagne color in graduated sizes, and I want to have it restrung as a choker-style necklace.

 

Has anyone had pearls restrung before? I presume I just got to any jewelry storeand ask to have it done?

Tami, I have my mom's pearls too. She bought hers in the orient. They had never been, so after her death I took them to my brother the jeweler. He has an Asian woman who did the stringing for us. Check around with the jewelers and ask what they suggest.

Thanks Lizzy. I figured that's what I'd need to do ... I just don't know any jewelers, so want to be sure I'm not being too overcharged also.
