About Us
We are a father - daughter team looking to help everyone love their pearls again
After many long discussions
Our journey began in 2012
Pearl & Clasp is the brainchild of a father-daughter duo, Jon and Tara. The Bendavid family has been in the jewelry business for generations. It must be that gene kicked in when the duo decided to channel their passion into a venture that speaks for fashion-conscious women.
What is the dilemma of modern women? They want to look stylish but can hardly manage time and at times have enough budget to afford something fabulous. Pearl & Clasp is a business that not just thinks about the bottom line. We care for our customers. We offer high-quality products and impeccable services faster and cheaper than your local boutique jewelry stores.
A perfect fit for your every day life
Our mission and dream
Jon’s 42 years of experience in the pearl jewelry industry and Tara’s fresh perspectives along with first-hand on-field learning enabled them to assort an à la mode jewelry collection. The gene of getting things done to be the more efficient must be genetic. Jon is the resident pearl expert; he can simply look at a pair of pearls and easily tell you their value. Tara has loads of experience with customer service and online marketing and brings those skills to the business.
You might be wondering about the secret behind Pearl & Clasp’s low prices. It’s simple. We run the business online and from our office headquarters and do our best to pass the savings down to the consumer. We believe that you should not have to pay the price of pearls just to have them restrung.
Simplicity in design and form
About our office in the diamond district
We also offer restringing and jewelry repair services across the country. Just send your piece to us and we will have it delivered at your doorstep after the restringing is complete, giving your pearls or beads a whole new look.
Curious to know more about pearl jewelry restringing? We warmly welcome you to our New York office, standing on the corner of the 47th St. and 5th Ave. in the heart of the Diamond District.
Pearl & Clasp shares the newly renovated building with several other large jewelry companies. The coolest feature of our office is the huge safe to store all the pearls and merchandise. As a kid, Tara was fascinated by it. She often used to ask her dad about how it was built and how to change the combination.
Fun Fact: The safe is so gigantic that it had to be lifted with a crane to get into the office.
Pay a visit and see how we do the work and how much attention to detail is at the core of every knot we make. Get to know us!
