HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR PEARLS

Pearls are relatively soft compared to other stones and precious metals. Therefore, it is important to care for pearls with special attention to ensure they remain bright and beautiful, generation after generation.

Cosmetics, perfumes, and hairsprays contain chemicals that can damage the pearl's luster over time. Even the body's natural oils, as well as perspiration, can also damage the pearl's luster.

So it is best to put on pearls after applying makeup, perfume, and hairspray. After wearing them, you should clean them with a damp cloth to keep them free from harmful residues of these products. Periodically, pearls should be washed with a mild soap.

Always keep your pearls separate from heavy jewelry, such as gold and other stones, to avoid scratching. Pearls are best kept inside a soft fabric pouch or separated in a lined jewelry box.

If you wear pearls several times a week, it would be good to take them to the jeweler once a year to have them restrung to prevent the thread from breaking (in the case of necklaces). Many experts recommend silk thread for restringing pearls. However, nylon thread is a good alternative. Make sure the thread is knotted between each pearl; this prevents all the pearls from falling if the thread breaks. These knots also prevent the pearls from rubbing against each other.
