Hi and thank you to everyone.
Well I have great news. I picked up my pearls after having them restrung at anadia pearls in Newport Beach. They did a spectacular job. It is so beautifully knotted you can hardly tell there are knotts. The clasp they helped me pick out is awesome. I am so happy and more importantly, I can now wear the pearls. Here is the information for anyone that needs it: http://www.anandia.com
Anandia pearls is located at 377 E Coast Highway, newport beach, Ca.

I so appreciate the fact that prior to having them restrung there was no pressure just helpfulness and knowledge. This is a place of business that cares about their customers and it shows.
Thank You Eric at Anandia Pearls
