Ah that’s fabulous thank you! I don’t really know if I need like 4 strings of pearls but these are much rainbowier than the freshwater ones so I’m sure I’ll find a time to wear them!

By not terribly valuable are we talking, say, under £50? I’ll restring them myself if so, but don’t feel confident doing it otherwise!

Hello! I’ve posted here before and you lovely people helped me identify and restring my beloved mother in law’s freshwater pearls that she gave me shortly before she passed away last year, and I wear them all the time in her memory. I’ve now inherited the rest of her jewellery collection. It...

I just wanted to say thank you everyone for your help - I have finally gotten around to doing it and made my new endless necklace. I’m so pleased to have something else of my mothers that I’ll actually wear! I loved doing it, it took about 2.5 hours start to finish. I want to do more but I’ve no...

Tha Thank you. I’ve worked out how that thread works now! I’m just looking for supplies and I’ll give it a go! The two thread method looks easier than the one thread - I need Serafil 30 right? Thanks so much! I’ll post if I manage to do it!

Thanks so much! I’ve been linked the videos I need to follow so I am ready to give it a try! But, I can’t find Serafil or beaders secret anywhere in the UK. I think there was a shop that used to sell the latter but it doesn’t seem to anymore. Will any old fine polyester thread do? Like regular...

That’s fabulous thank you so much! I don’t suppose you happed to know any uk alternatives to the recommend threads? I can’t find the Serafil or beaders secret anywhere!

Hello! I’ve inherited this twisted triple strand pearl necklace from my beloved mother in law. Each pearl is about 8mm long. I don’t like the style of necklace on me, although I love the colours of the pearls, and I really want to be able to wear them as they have huge sentimental value. I was...

Thanks so much everyone! Very pleased that I don’t have to feel guilty about cutting them up, and hopefully (if I don’t completely ruin it) I will have something that I’ll actually wear and love out if it and remember her by! I’ll get the recommended supplies and give it a go, and I’ll post the...

Hello! I inherited these from my beloved mother in law. I have no idea where she got them from. I’d love to wear them but they aren’t really my style so I’d like to try to restring them on knotted silk as an endless necklace. Before I do so I just want to check what they are - I’m assuming...

Thank you so much! I’m relieved to know they are not super valuable so I can wear them without worrying as they mean so much to me! But lovely to also think they are real pearls - and a durable kind at that so I can pass them on to my little girls in turn! I also gave them a wash and they have...

Hello! I was given my great great (possibly great again but not sure on that) grandmother-in-law’s pearls. This should make them a minimum of 70 years old. They were fairly well off folk and well traveled. I know they weren’t my mother in laws originally but if there is one great less they would...
