Caring for pearls

Here are some practical advises to look after your pearl. Give it a bit of care and tenderness and she will fulfil you with her inner beauty time over time.

Caring/Cleaning Don'ts
-Never use commercial jewelry cleaners unless they are specifically made for pearls.
-Never use ultrasonic, steam cleaners, detergents, baking soda, bleaches, or any ammonia-based cleansers.
-Do not wear pearls necklaces when their string is wet. Wet strings stretch and attract dirt, which is hard to remove.
-Do not use toothbrushes, scouring pads or abrasive materials to clean pearls. They can scratch the pearl's surface.
-Pearls should not be stored in boxes, or where the air is dry or hot, neither be wrapped in cotton or wool.
