Pearls are unique and delicate gems that require special care to maintain their natural beauty. Here is a guide on how to care for pearls.
Cleaning the pearls
- Daily cleaning : After wearing your pearls, clean them with a soft cloth that will not scratch or damage them.
- Deep Cleaning : Every now and then, you need to do a deeper cleaning. Only use jewelry cleaners that are safe for pearls as listed on the label. Do not use toothbrushes or abrasive materials. Never use dish soap, bleach, powdered detergent, baking soda or ammonia-based cleaners.
- Rinsing and drying : After washing the pearls in the appropriate solution, clean them with a soft cloth. Place them on a damp cloth to dry. When the towel is dry, the beads should also be dry and ready to use. Do not hang beads to dry.
Pearl conservation
Pearls should be stored separately from other jewelry. They can get scratched by being in contact with sharp objects or other precious stones. Store pearls in a jewelry pouch or fabric-lined container.
Wear pearls
Pearls love to be worn! The skin's natural oils help keep the pearls hydrated. However, avoid wearing pearls when doing activities that could damage them, such as sports or cooking.
Avoid chemicals
Chemicals can damage pearls. Avoid contacting your pearls with products such as hairspray, perfume or sunscreen.
By following these tips, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of your pearls for many years to come.
