How To Care For Your Pearl Jewelry

Hi

Pearls are an investment which can provide many years of enjoyment if cared for properly. Below are a few tips to help you care for your pearls.

Store Pearls Separately

Pearls are much softer than the majority of gemstones and precious metals and can become easily scratched or damaged if stored with other jewelry. Ideally, you should store your pearls in a soft cloth pouch, linen cloth, or soft lined jewelry box. These will help prevent the pearls from being scratched or damaged.

Minimize Contact With Personal Products

Hairspray, makeup and perfume contain chemicals that can harm the pearl's surface and dull the luster. To minimize this type of contact, use personal care products first before putting on pearls.

Minimize Contact With Perspiration

Remove pearls before exercising or doing strenuous activity as perspiration contains natural acids that can harm the pearl's surface and dull the pearl's luster.

Clean Your Pearls After Wear

Gently wipe your pearls with a soft damp cloth after wear. This will help to remove any build-up on the pearls. Do not use anything abrasive as this may damage your pearls.

Periodically Wash Your Pearls

Periodically wash your pearls in soapy water using a mild liquid soap (not a detergent) to help remove harmful build-ups. Gently rinse and place on soft towel or cloth to dry. Do not hang pearls to dry as this may stretch the silk thread.
