| Sort of on thread - I sometimes get asked to re-string old pearls - usually given many years ago as a coming of age present and much cherished since.
But they are yellowed and the nacre is peeling...oh dear, very disheartening. I never know what to say, as they are much prized.
How can you tell if these are tired old sea pearls or majorcan (a specific brand of shell pearl very common in Europe due to good marketing when the spanish holiday market to the island was opening up in the 70s and 80s)
And can anything be done to restore them in any way? |
