Why will beads threaded on silk need restringing?
Pearls or beads threaded on silk thread will need restringing periodically as the silk will deteriorate with time. Restringing silk strung items is recommended every year or two, depending on the frequency of wear and how you care for them. As a guideline if the silk between the beads is still bright white and clean they will not need restringing yet, if however it is discoloured or you can see dirt accumulation it is probably time to restring them.
