CARE FOR PEARLS





Like any jewelry of value, pearls require proper care to keep them looking good. .









  • Pearls surfaces are soft .They are sensitive to dramatic changes in temperature.



  • They are affected by acids, cosmetics, perspiration and hair spray.



  • Never use abrasives or solvents to clean pearls.



  • Cleaning products with ammonia should be avoided.



  • Steam cleaning or using an ultrasonic cleaner can damage pearls.



  • Do not use anything that could scratch the surface, including toothbrushes.



  • Using a mild liquid soap, you can wash pearls in water with a soft cloth.To dry, spread them on a moist towel.



  • When both are dry, the pearls should be ready to wear.



  • Wearing a necklace that is still moist will stretch the string..
