My pearl necklace broke. Is it possible for me to fix it? It is 14Kt gold.

Article FAQ Answer Icon

Yes, you can fix it! If it was knotted on silk, you'll need to restring and re-knot the pearls using fresh silk thread. If it was strung on wire, use gold-plated or gold-finished beading wire and secure with crimp beads. For a strong, professional finish, consider taking it to a jeweler for restringing with gold findings. If the clasp broke, simply replace it with a new 14Kt gold clasp. You’ve got this!
