At Yarnal Jewelers we take pleasure in repairing and restoring vintage fine jewelry to its original splendor with the same attention to detail as when they were first crafted, vintage jewelry preservation is our first priority!

One of the first steps in a jewelry restoration assessment is to determine what is at fault. The extent and location of damage will dictate what must be done. With careful examination we can ask the questions; How much was it worn?  Was it damaged and repaired before?  How well were the repairs done?  Has anything been added?  What is now broken?  What are the stones and are they original?  Are any of the stones damaged?

(Actually, a lot of restoration involves the correction of poorly done repairs.)

Often, a piece fails and is weak structurally because the material is flawed, or because of an designer error.  If merely soldered, the joints could break again.  The challenge is not only to repair the break but also to correct the original problem in a manner that’s in keeping with the original style.

Our Jewelers, seek out stylistic differences between sections of the work. Reveal any small cracks or stress points and seek out any sign of hidden damages.  It’s quite very easy to focus on an area in obvious need of repair and overlook something else that may be of primary importance.

To discover the fullest extent of damage, you may need the help of a restoration craftsperson such as our skilled Master Goldsmith Charles Thym.

✨The importance of knotting pearls.✨

Pearls are these precious, sensitive organic gems and the reason we knot them is to maintain their beauty and reduce the harm that can come from having them rub against one another. But, over time, its natural that silk thread can stretch out and the knots become weak.Why should you have your pearls knotted, anyway?

For this simple reason,

Protection & Beauty.

If your knotted necklace breaks, you may lose one pearl, at the most. This is why we reknot pearls, maintain those knots and protect those special pearls. A knot will separate the pearls from one another and allow you to see more of their surface area. A well knotted pearl necklace has that soft, delicate look that we all so desire in a good strand of well-fitting pearls.
