A friend has lost an akoya pearl from her 3 pearl ring and needs it repaired. She thinks I might be able to repair it. Although I repair lots of pearl stuff, I am not sure about a ring. I am not sure I even have a pearl that will fit & match, but the bigger problem is getting the pearl to stay. I had a local jeweler, (He gets great reviews) who said he was good with gluing pearls, re-glue one of my rings, within 2 wearings, a pearl had popped off and I lost it. I am very careful of my hands & rarely have anything happen to my rings, so I am worried about fixing my friend's ring. Should she take a chance with her local jeweler in Hot Springs, Arkansas? Is there a way to find a jeweler who will do a good job of matching the pearl and gluing it? I think she would be up to sending it to someone who would do a good job. I thought of Pearl Paradise...but it is not their ring. What would people advise?
Help, where to go to get a pearl ring repaired?

I had a pearl fall out of my Kamoka ring, and I got good advice from here, Kamoka, and PP to fix it myself. My whole post lists all the steps I did to fix it. The pearl's been solid ever since.
I checked my ring at noon. 24 hours after reseting the pearl. And it feels solid. It's fixed!!!!
Thank you all for your expertise on how to do it!

She should call Pearl Paradise. They may be able to match the pearl and fix the ring.
I 'third' Pearl Paradise . You need someone with lots of pearls so that a match can be found. We all know how difficult it is to to match ..WHITE ! Plus there's lustre to consider. So they will 1. be able to match and 2 be able to glue it.
