Protect Your Pearls from Chemicals
Pearls are vulnerable to acids, alkalis, and extreme humidity.
- Avoid contact with cosmetics, hair sprays, and perfumes.
- Always apply makeup and perfume before wearing your jewelry.
Clean After Each Wear
Pearls can lose their shine due to perspiration. Always wipe them gently with a soft, clean cloth before storing them.
Proper Storage
- Do not wrap pearls in colored paper or fabrics that may bleed color.
- Pearls can get scratched by sharp objects or other gemstones. Always store them separately, preferably in a soft cloth pouch or lined jewelry box.
Handle with Care
- Avoid pulling or tugging on pearl necklaces as they are strung on fine threads, which can stretch or break.
- Get your pearl necklaces restrung every few years to ensure durability.
Avoid Water and Moisture
- Do not wear pearl jewelry while bathing, as water can weaken the threading.
- If pearls come in contact with vinegar, fruit juices, or detergents, wipe them immediately with a soft cloth to prevent damage.
Polishing and Cleaning
- Never polish pearl jewelry as it may harm the delicate surface.
- Avoid using ultrasonic cleaners on pearls, as the vibrations can cause irreversible damage.
By following these care instructions, your pearls will continue to exude elegance and charm for years to come. Treat them with love and care, and they’ll reward you with timeless beauty.
