How to Take Care of Your Pearl Jewelry: A Simple Guide
Taking care of your pearl jewelry isn’t as daunting as it may seem. With a few simple rules, you can keep your pearls looking stunning for years to come. Here’s how:
1. Keep Pearls Away from Strong Chemicals
Natural pearls are sensitive to strong chemicals, shampoos, and heavy perfumes. To keep them in pristine condition:
- Before Washing Dishes: Always remove your pearls. The harsh chemicals in dish soap can damage their delicate surface.
- Applying Perfume: When you're getting ready to head out, apply your perfume first and let it dry before putting on your pearls. This prevents the pearls from being exposed to the alcohol and chemicals in the perfume.
2. Avoid Wearing Pearls During Physical Activity
Pearl jewelry, especially rings, is very delicate. It’s best to remove your pearls during any hard physical activities, such as working out or doing heavy lifting. This will help prevent accidental scratches or damage.
3. Regular Cleaning
Over time, a build-up of sweat, dust, humidity, and cosmetics can dull the shine of your pearls. To keep them looking as beautiful as the day you bought them, clean them regularly:
- Polishing Pads: We always provide a polishing pad with our jewelry. Use this pad to gently clean your pearls once a month. This simple step removes any build-up and restores their natural luster.
By following these three easy tips, you can ensure that your pearl jewelry remains a cherished part of your collection for years to come.
Remember, a little care goes a long way in maintaining the timeless beauty of pearls!
