CARING FOR PEARLS:
- Caring for pearls requires a gentle touch because they are organic gemstones—primarily calcium carbonate—that are more sensitive to chemicals and physical damage than harder stones like diamonds.
- Last On: Put your pearls on only after you have finished applying makeup, hairspray, lotion, and perfume. The acids and alcohol in these products can erode the delicate nacre (outer layer) and cause permanent dullness.
- First Off: Remove your pearls as soon as you get home. This prevents them from coming into contact with household cleaners or being subjected to unnecessary physical strain.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
- Wipe After Each Use: Gently wipe your pearls with a soft, clean cloth (like microfiber or chamois) after every wear to remove body oils and perspiration.
- Deep Cleaning: If pearls become visibly dirty, use lukewarm water and a drop of extremely mild, non-detergent soap (like baby shampoo).
- Do not soak: Use a damp cloth to wipe them individually.
- Air dry flat: Lay the strand on a soft towel and let it dry completely before storing.
- Avoid Machines: Never use ultrasonic or steam cleaners, as the vibrations and heat can crack the pearls.
PROPER STORAGE
- Lay Flat: Store necklaces and bracelets flat to prevent the string from stretching over time.
- Store Separately: Keep pearls in a soft fabric pouch or a lined jewelry box away from harder gemstones and metals that could scratch them.
- Let Them Breathe: Do not store pearls in airtight containers or plastic bags. They need the natural moisture from the air to prevent them from becoming brittle and yellowing.
LONG-TERM CARE
- Wear Them Often: Pearls actually benefit from frequent wear; they absorb the natural oils from your skin, which helps maintain their luster and hydration.
