Pearl Care and Education

Caring for your pearls

Pearls should be the last thing you put on when dressing and the first thing you take off when you get home.
Keep your pearls away from chemical substances such as chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, household cleaning sprays, baking soda, dish/laundry detergents, perfumes, hairspray and other acidic solutions as these will damage the surface of the pearl.
Pearls benefit from absorbing the oils that your skin naturally produces.
Never store your pearls in an airtight container such as a plastic bag. Pearls need moisture and if kept in an environment where it is too dry, the pearl could crack.
Wrap your pearls with a linen/ soft cloth or store them in a soft pouch making sure you keep them away from any hard objects and surfaces.
Keep your pearls away from direct sunlight or hot temperatures.
Wipe your pearls with a soft cloth to get rid of any dirt, perfume, sweat or any extra oils on the pearls.
Never use any hard materials such as a toothbrush to clean pearls.
Never use a steam cleaner or tarnish remover to clean pearls.
Take off your pearls before exercising to keep them away from any perspiration (sweat) produced by your body.
