Pearl detachment is a common issue with pearl jewelry. The primary causes include the following:
Oversized pearl holes
If the hole in the pearl is too large, the pearl may detach and fall off during wear. Additionally, threading a rigid cord through a small hole can enlarge the opening over time, compromising the security of the pearl's attachment.
Insecure pearl assembly
Pearl arrangements are created by stringing individual pearls onto a cord; if the knots securing the pearls are not tight enough, or if the cord becomes slack, the pearls may fall off.
Loose connection points
Pearl rings are typically constructed by combining multiple pearl strands, metal posts, and pearl clusters. If the design is flawed, gaps between the metal post and the pearl strand can lead to the pearls detaching.
