Did you get some brand new pearl jewelry for Christmas? If so, congratulations on your new pearls!
With any new purchase of fine jewelry, you'll want to know how to keep your gemstones looking gorgeous and lustrous. Even if your pearls aren't a recent purchase, I think you'll find this short guide quite helpful!
1) Only put on your pearls as the "Finishing Touch" to your outfit- this is after cosmetics, hairspray and perfumes have all been "applied and dried". This ensures that your pearls' delicate surfaces come into minimal contact with any harsh chemicals that will eat away at the nacre, and speed up the aging process.
2) Every time you're finished wearing your strand for the day, wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth to remove any chemical residues.
3) Make sure to use only water to clean your pearls, unless they’re very dirty, in which case you can use a drop or two of liquid dish soap (to be rinsed off thoroughly once you’re finished cleaning them). Avoid chemical agents like hydrogen peroxide, acetone, bleach or other cleansing agents. Do not under any circumstances soak your pearls in water and hydrogen peroxide solutions, water and bleach, etc. These are all harsh bleaching agents that dry out the nacre and will cause the pearl to disintegrate, and we all will be very sad.
4) No swimming, no showers, no dishes - chlorine damages nacre, and even if it's just pearl earrings you happen to be wearing, the chemicals in the water can loosen the adhesive holding pearl to its post. For pearl rings, be sure to remove your jewelry before washing your hands.
5) Every once in a while, store them in the bathroom so they can absorb moisture from the steam in the shower (don't put them in the shower, or hang them from a hook as this stretches out the silk, just placed on the countertop should be fine).
7) Restring your pearl necklace every two years - once a year if you're an everyday devotee. We offer a life-time maintenance service; for a flat fee per 18-inches, we will restring your pearls so they continue to look as good as new! Additional services include deep cleaning and polishing - just ask us!
8) Store them wrapped in a soft cloth/jewelry pouch to keep them from getting scratched by other jewelry items in your box.
9) Do not store them in an air-tight container or a sealed vault like a safety deposit box; lack of oxygen and moisture causes the pearls to dry out and crumble over time.
10) Do not hang a pearl necklace on a hook for storage; this places un-necessary strain on the silk and stretches out the knot work and causes the silk to fray. Not only does this look bad, but you’ll end up restringing the pearls much more often than you’d like.
