I often get brides bringing Grandma’s pearls in, they were wanting to wear them on the day, then realise that old pearls go very yellow with age and they won’t match their headpiece or newer jewellery.
Our solution is to take the old pearls which will never see the light of day again and rework them into new pieces, so you can have all your pieces the same using old pearls and new diamante to brighten them.
These pearls were brought in by a bride to be re-worked, we took them apart and cleaned them up and made them into a new two row bracelet, re-using one of the old clasps and a Mary headband.
