Natural pearls are rare, valuable—often historic—treasures that require gentle care to maintain their glow over time. Save these tips to keep your pearls looking their best.
- Clean gently: Wipe after each wear with a soft, dry-to-damp cloth to remove oils and perspiration. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners, as they are too harsh for pearls.
- Avoid prolonged water exposure: Do not soak pearls; extended contact with water can damage nacre and weaken the silk used for the strand.
- Avoid chemicals: Keep pearls away from makeup, perfume, hairspray, cosmetics, vinegar and other substances that can erode their surface.
- Store properly: Store separately in a soft pouch or lined box. Avoid airtight safes and heat, which can dry out pearls and dull their luster.
With proper care, natural pearls are beautiful heirlooms that can last for generations.
