How to Care For Your Pearls?
Pearls are less durable than most gems. They are sensitive to hair
spray, gel, acids, dryness, and humidity etc.. If you wear cosmetics or
perfume, put these on before wearing your pearl jewelry. Don't put on
your pearl jewelry first, that will ruin the coat on your pearls.
When taking off your pearls, wipe them with a dry, lint-free cloth. If
needed, clean your pearls with warm soapy water being very careful to
not get water into the drill hole as the pearl may discolor. When
cleaning the pearl jewelry be extra careful that you don't scratch the
pearls. Dry your pearls flat on an absorbent soft preferably lint-free
towel. Always store your pearl necklaces flat as the silk will stretch.
Store pearls separately from other jewelry, as they will scratch. Store
pearls in a dry environment. Avoid using plastic bags as moisture may
get trapped and cause damage.
