Pearl Care

Exposure to cosmetics, perfume and hair spray all contain chemicals that can dull the lustre of a pearl. The natural acids contained in body oils and perspiration can damage pearls in the same way. Your pearls should be the last item you put on and the first accessory you take off

Gently wipe the pearls with a soft damp cloth after you wear them. This will prevent dirt from accumulating and keep perspiration. If you wear your pearls frequently, you should consider washing them approximately once a year.

Place your pearls in a colander (plastic) to minimize handling your pearls. Dip the colander several times in a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly in clear water and dried with a soft cloth

Do not use an ultrasonic cleaner!

Pearls should be stored in a cloth pouch or a jewellery box or compartment to avoid possible scratches to the surface. We send all our pearl jewellery with a gift box, thus you can store your pearl jewellery in a separate gift box.

Restring pearls every two years, but when excessive wear is noticeable once a year is recommended. Experts suggest the use of silk thread. However, nylon thread is an acceptable alternative. For your very fine pearls, the string should be knotted between each pearl to prevent all the pearls in a strand from falling off should a break occur and also keeps the pearls from rubbing against each other.
