    Hey all. I've been restringing pearls in Cincinnati Ohio for over a
    decade. Not to brag, but I do a very nice job. My knots are tight
    and even and I use French wire on the ends. I string pearls on silk.
    I've recently been communicating with a web-based pearl seller hoping
    to do their stringing. I've been charging $2 per inch wholesale for
    several years now and have not had complaints from the stores that I
    string for. I've also checked another trade shop (Jewel Craft) and
    seen that they also charge this amount. My pearl seller said he was
    told that this is more of a retail cost and that he has been told
    that $8-$10 per strand is what he is finding wholesale. I figured
    that would be around 50 cents per inch. 

    What have you guys found. either doing the work yourselves or having
    had to pay others to do it? I guess I just want to know where in the
    pricing spectrum I am? Thanks so much. 

Leslie
