Title: How to care for pearls
Author: Yan Berry
Pearls are delicate and soft gems compared with other gemstones.
They need extra gentle care. Here is a guide to pearl care.
• Clean - wipe pearls regularly and gently with a soft cloth
moistened with water. Pearls can absorb perfume, skin oils and
dirt easily. Do not clean pearls with detergents and don’t soak
pearls in water.
• Protect - avoid temperature extremes and chemicals such as
vinegar, alcohol and hair spray. They can damage pearl surfaces.
• Wear – put on pearls after you have applied makeup and hair
spray.
• Store - pearls can be scratched easily. They should be stored
in a soft place such as a velvet box or a satin pouch. Avoid
putting pearls next to diamond or gemstones jewelry.
• Restring - for a frequently worn pearl necklace, it is
recommended to restring the necklace once every one or two years
since silk thread may get weakened over time.
