Pearls suit every generation, and the UK jewellers here supply and restring necklaces, earrings and more in freshwater, Akoya and South Sea. Pearl jewellery ranges from a classic single-strand necklace to modern designs that pair pearls with gold and diamonds, and the specialists listed know how to source, match and care for them.
Types of Pearl
Freshwater pearls are the most affordable and come in many shapes, Akoya pearls are prized for their round shape and bright lustre, and South Sea and Tahitian pearls are larger and rarer. A jeweller can explain how lustre, surface and matching affect value so you know what you are paying for.
Care and Restringing
Pearls are softer than gemstones and need gentle handling, kept away from perfume and stored separately from harder jewellery. Strung pearls should be restrung every few years, especially if worn often, as silk stretches and weakens. Many jewellers here offer restringing, cleaning and clasp repairs to keep an inherited strand wearable.
