Care and Maintenance Guide

Welcome to our Pearl Care and Maintenance Guide. Pearls are treasures from the nature that requires careful handling to preserve their luster and beauty. By following these simple guidelines, you can ensure your pearls remain as captivating as the day you first wore them.

 

Daily Care 

  1. Last On, First Off: Make your pearls the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Pearls should be spared from exposure to cosmetics, hair sprays, and perfumes which can diminish their luster over time.
  2. Gentle Cleansing: After wearing your pearls, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. This action removes any residues and helps maintain their sheen.
  3. Avoid Water: Do not wear pearls in the shower, bath, swimming pool, or ocean. Water can weaken silk threads used in pearls strands and dull their shine.
  4. Touch with Care: Pearls are soft and can be easily scratched. Handle them gently and avoid touching them with sharp objects.

  

Storage Suggestions 

  1. Separate Storage: Store your pearls separately from other jewelry in a fabric-lined compartment or in a soft pouch to prevent scratching.
  2. Avoid Tight Spaces: Don't store pearls in an airtight container. Pearls require a bit of moisture to maintain their luster, and an airtight environment can dry them out.
  3. Lay Flat to Store: Pearl necklaces should be laid flat rather than hung to prevent stretching the silk thread.

  

Cleaning Pearls 

  1. Light Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently clean your pearls. You can moisten the cloth with water or a solution of lukewarm water and mild dish soap.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough cleaning, immerse your pearls in a solution of lukewarm water and mild dish soap for a few minutes, then gently clean each pearl with a soft brush. Rinse with a cloth dampened in clean water.
  3. Drying: Always lay your pearls on a soft cloth to dry. Avoid using heat or direct sunlight, which can damage the pearls.

 

Avoid Harmful Substances 

  1. Chemicals: Keep pearls away from chlorinated water, vinegar, and ammonia-based cleaners.
  2. Extreme Temperatures: Don't expose pearls to extreme heat or cold, which can cause damage.
  3. Direct Sunlight: Long-term exposure to direct sunlight can fade or discolor pearls
