Basic pendant braid threading done in studio.

Simple Braiding & New Adjustable Cord

A straightforward repair and refresh service for pendants that simply need a new braided adjustable cord without additional decorative lashing, whipping, or complex knot work.

This is the no-fuss option for clients who would like their piece professionally restrung and ready to wear again.

Perfect for:

• worn or snapped cords
• old ties that need replacing
• pendants needing a fresh adjustable braid
• those who prefer not to rethread at home

🧵 What’s Included

This service includes:

• brand new adjustable waxed polyester cord
• simple hand braiding
• pendant rethreading
• secure finished adjustable closure

No additional lash details or decorative whipping are included in this tier.

This is the basic service option for clean, practical re-cording.

🌿 Designed for Ease & Accessibility

This service is especially helpful for those who may struggle with:

• hand mobility
• arthritis or grip difficulties
• reduced dexterity
• confidence with knotting
• wanting the reassurance of a professional finish

It’s also ideal for anyone who simply wants the peace of mind of having the piece taken care of professionally.

A DIY home version may also be available separately for those who prefer to do the work themselves.

🧵 Materials

Completed using waxed polyester cord, the same durable and water-resistant style widely used by many contemporary Māori master carvers and jewellery makers.

Chosen for:

• durability
• water resistance
• long-term wear
• reliable everyday use

Colour choices can be discussed in advance.

🌿 Cultural Respect & Mana

The same respect and handling standards apply as with all repair services.

If the piece carries mana, ancestral significance, or spiritual meaning, please let me know before sending.

All cleaning, polishing, or conditioning stages can be removed upon request out of cultural respect.

🌳 Complimentary TLC

All pieces will still receive the same restorative care as my other services, unless otherwise requested.

This may include:

• gentle ultrasonic clean
• felt wheel buff
• beeswax and vitamin E treatment for wooden elements

to help refresh and protect the piece.
