Pearls are unique. Unlike gems that are mined from the
earth, pearls are created by living organisms. They require special
care. Here are a few helpful tips to help maintain their sensuous luster:
To
clean your pearls, simply wipe with a soft damp cloth. Do not immerse in
jewelry cleaners. Do not use stream or ultra sonic cleaners.
Pearls are softer than other gems, so store them separately to
prevent them from getting scratched. I suggest you keep your pearls in the
bag provided.
Store your pearls in an atmosphere that has some
moisture. If stored for a long period of time, keep a glass of water in
the area.
A pearl's luster is sensitive to chemicals and acids that may
be present in cosmetics. Please apply lotions, make-up, perfume, and
especially hairspray before you adorn yourself with pearls.
Finally, please refrain from wearing your pearls when
showering, swimming, and sky diving.
