Tips and care to maintain beauty and luster of your pearls:
Pearls have a compact crystalline structure that makes them durable heirloom jewelry that can be passed on for generations. That said, pearls are soft, and in order to maintain their lustrous beauty proper care is essential.

Here are a few tips and things to avoid when caring for pearls:
• Wipe gently with a warm damp towel before storing pearls to remove body oils and perspiration which can damage a pearls color.
• Store in a separate pouch to prevent scratching the pearls surface against metal or harder stones. A satin pouch, linen handkerchief or soft tissue works well.
• Always remove your pearl prior to exercise to protect from perspiration.
• Avoid contact with these substances: vinegar, ammonia, and chlorine bleach. Many commercial jewelry cleaners contain ammonia!
• Avoid contact with inks, hairspray, and perfumes.
• Avoid storing pearls in an excessively dry place as it can cause the nacre of a pearl to crack over time.
