Add-A-Pearl Send-In Service

If you have the lucky occasion of welcoming a newborn into your family, you may know the Add-A-Pearl necklace. A necklace is gifted to the child with a given number of pearls of a chosen size and quality, and as each year passes, one or more pearls are added for every birthday. When she reaches her 16th birthday, college graduation, or wedding day, she can arrive draped in her completed cultured-pearl necklace — a truly sentimental gift whose meaning stays with her for life. Family members can contribute pearls too, adding an invaluable sentiment to the finished piece.

Already have pearls to add? Send them to us and we’ll string them for you. Complete the form below so we can capture your situation accurately, and we’ll email you secure, insured mailing instructions. Every necklace is hand-strung with double-knotted silk thread — never a gold chain, which can discolor pearls over time.

Recommended starter size: 6.5 × 7 mm. This is our standard size and most popular choice — smaller pearls will look too small on her once she matures. Please choose 6.5 × 7 mm from the size drop-down when you order a pearl below, so the finished necklace is beautifully proportioned for her adult years.
