Akoya Pearl Matching and Stringing
<< PREV: Akoya Cutting and Drilling
After drilling the pearls are then matched and strung into 14 or 16 inch temporary hanks (simply tied at both ends) or into a finished pearl necklace, bracelets, etc. Firstly however, they are sorted based on millimeter differences, such as 6-7mm or 7-8mm sizes. They are then sorted to match color, luster, and body quality. The jewelry is strung by jewelry stringers and labeled based on size and quality i.e. 7-8mm AAA quality.
Meticulous matching color, size and grade
The technicians strive to create the best matched strand they can. After this they are labeled and shipped out on the market. Retailers or wholesalers will actually complete the jewelry by adding a clasp or earring post as required and in some cases actually complete the stringing themselves. Then the exquisite pearl jewelry is ready to be sold.
