Pearls are soft gems and they need gentle care. Here is a guide to pearl care.
• Wipe pearls regularly and gently with a soft cloth moistened with water. Pearls can absorb perfume, skin oils and dirt. Do not clean pearls with detergents.
• Protect pearls from temperature extremes and chemicals such as vinegar, alcohol and hair spray. They can erode pearl surfaces.
• Wear pearls after you have applied makeup and hair spray.
• Pearls can be scratched easily. They should be stored in a soft place. Avoid putting pearls next to diamond or gemstones jewelry.
• In the case of a frequently worn pearl necklace, it is advisable to restring the necklace every one or two years since silk thread may weaken.
