Repairs & Restringing

The Little Bead Shop Offers a full jewellery restringing and repair service. Ideally pearls and beads should be re-strung every few years depending on the amount of wear.  We can restring all kinds of beaded jewellery on professional beading wire as well as re-knot pearls on silk giving your jewellery a new lease of life. Some repairs are very simple and can be carried out instantly, others - like pearl knotting, take longer and need to be left. Repairs generally take around two weeks.

Prices for repairs are confirmed after assessing the piece, but as a rough guide you can expect to pay around £7.00 for beads to be restrung on professional beading wire and from £20.00 for a full knotted restring. On the spot repairs often cost only the price of your replacement parts.

Should your piece of jewellery be beyond repair then it will almost certainly be possible to use it components in a complete redesign. Just pop into The Little Bead Shop to see whats possible!
