Caring
for Pearls
Unlike diamonds,
pearls are extremely sensitive gems. Follow this checklist and
keep your pearls beautiful for many generations.
- Clean regularly
by wiping gently with a soft cloth. Pearls can absorb perfume,
skin oils, and dirt.
- Put on
your pearls after you have applied makeup and perfume.
- Never soak
pearls in water—they may become stained or discolored.
- Restring
pearls annually to keep strands at their optimum strength and
appearance.
- To clean,
use a mild, nondetergent soap and lukewarm water. Let the pearls
dry for several days between two soft towels.
- Store pearls
seperately in their own box or soft silk pouch. Pearls may chip
or pit, so keep them away from other jewelry.
- Never close
pearls up in an airtight container. Allow them to breathe.
- Protect
pearls from temperature extremes and chemicals such as vinegar,
alcohol, ammonia, and hair spray, which can erode their surfaces.
