Avoid Exposure to Harsh Chemicals
- Chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, and other cleaning agents can damage pearls. Make it a habit to remove your pearl jewelry before swimming in pools or hot tubs and before using household cleaners.
Store Properly
- Store your pearls separately in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to prevent scratching and tangling. Avoid storing pearls in airtight containers, as they need moisture to prevent drying out and cracking.
Clean Regularly
- Gently wipe your pearls with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils, dirt, and fingerprints. Use a damp cloth to clean your pearls, then dry them with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh cleaners.
Exposure to Moisture Aftercare
- While your pearls are resilient, it’s important to pat them gently dry after exposure to moisture. This helps maintain their natural luster and beauty.
Handle with Care
- When wearing and removing your pearl jewelry, handle it with care to prevent stretching, bending, or breaking the delicate strand or settings.
