About Silk Thread Earrings

We have a lot of silk thread earrings here!
In the current economic climate, it is unlikely that many consumers are in the market for new jewelry. But, restringing your necklaces can give them a fresh and new look at a fraction of the cost. In deciding whether to restring, take a look at the necklace. Is the thread stretched between the gemstones? Is it discolored? Is it frayed, particularly near the clasp? If the answer is "yes," now may be a good time to have the necklace restrung.
Knots are created between gemstones to protect them from rubbing against each other and to guard against scattering and possible loss if the silk thread earrings breaks. silk thread earrings is available in a multitude of colors. Silk hangs beautifully and the color of the thread is often a key element in the necklace design. Another benefit of silk, particularly with expensive and more fragile gemstones such as pearls, is that it protects against grime accruing in the drill holes of the gemstones. The problem with silk thread earrings, however, it that it stretches very quickly. And, over time, it discolors. If you choose to use silk in the manufacture of your necklace, be prepared to have it restrung often.
A final note. Sometimes a silk thread earrings will be re-made and returned to the consumer with kinking. Far from being a mistake in manufacturing, it is a sign that the jeweler has done a good job. The kinking results from knots being tightly flushed against drill holes and it will work itself out after one or two wears. Or you can simply hang the necklace (on a chair, on a hanger, etc.) and let it work out the kinks that way. Having your necklace remade can make it feel like new again. It's a less expensive alternative to buying new jewelry. And, keeping these pointers in mind will enable you to make informed choices about its manufacture.
