Pearl findings are the jewellery industry's term for the gold and sterling silver designs on which the pearls are mounted. Pearl findings are generally pre-made to suit pearl earrings (studs or hanging), pendants and rings. Clasps for necklaces and bracelets are also regarded as findings. The pearls are mounted by drilling a small hole of the correct size into the pearl. The hole in the pearl will match a slightly smaller size "post" on the finding and the two components are joined using a specially formulated two-part epozy glue.
When you visit Tiare Black Pearl at either our Olinda or Mornington stores you will find a vary array of loose pearls of all sizes and shapes. There are also around 200 unique findings for you to choose from. Tiare offers you the possibility to choose your own individual pearl and then a finding to match. Usually we are able to assemble your jewellery within an hour while you go for a coffee or lunch. There is no charge for this service.
