Pearl Care Guide

 

Pearls are a classic luxury item and should be treated as such. Follow these pearls care guidelines to keep your pearls looking beautiful for years to come.

How to care for your pearls?

  • Keep your pearls in a cool, dry place. Pearls are made from oyster shells and can be damaged by heat, moisture and chemicals. So it's important to keep them away from sources of heat (like clothing dryers), moisture (like swimming pools) and harsh chemicals (like chlorine bleach).

  • Don't wear them when cooking or baking. The steam from your food may cause damage over time by softening the surface of the pearl then hardening again as it dries out after washing off; this process is called "boilout" or "pearl burn"--and no one wants their prized possession to look like that! If you must wear your pearls while cooking/baking, make sure they're always covered up with an apron or scarf so no accidental splashes get on them either!

  • Don't wear them when jogging or doing other strenuous activities where there's lots of movement involved since this can cause friction between two items rubbing against each other which leads us back down memory lane...

Pearls are delicate and sensitive. They are the only living gem and can be harmed by beauty products, perfume, acids and chemicals.

Pearls are the only living gem, so they are very sensitive to chemicals, heat and humidity.

Always keep your pearls in a cool dry place. Pearls should not be stored with other jewelry as this can cause damage to both your pearls and other pieces of jewelry. Pearls should also not be worn while swimming or bathing as they will become discolored from chlorine and soap residue left behind on your skin after coming out of the water (this is true for all natural gemstones).

If you do accidentally get some moisture on them--for example if you're wearing them when it rains--simply wipe off any excess moisture with a soft cloth before storing them away from light sources until they dry completely again!

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat or humidity which may cause discoloration or damage.

Pearls are delicate and should not be worn in the shower or pool. They are also sensitive to heat and humidity, so avoid exposing them to direct sunlight for long periods of time. If you're going to be in a hot environment for any length of time, remove your pearl necklace and store it in an airtight bag before leaving home.

Do not wear your pearls when you are swimming in a chlorinated pool.

Pearls are sensitive to chlorine. Chlorine can cause pearls to discolor, turn green or yellow. If you must wear your pearls in a chlorinated pool, be sure they are wrapped in a cloth bag or sealed plastic pouch.

Also avoid wearing your pearls when swimming in salty water (such as oceans), as this may also damage them over time.

Pearls should be stored in a cool dry place and protected from heat sources such as direct sunlight or radiators/heaters that could cause damage to the setting--if your house gets too hot during summer months, consider storing them somewhere else!

Avoid hairspray and perfume on your pearls as it leaves a residue that can cause damage.

Pearls are very sensitive to chemicals and harsh cleaners. Avoid using hairspray on your pearls as it leaves a residue that can cause damage. If you do get some on your pearls, use a soft cloth to wipe away any smudges or dirt and then wash them in warm water with mild soap. Always use a clean cloth when handling your pearls!

Do not submerge your pearl jewelry in water unless it is specified that they are waterproof or water resistant (i.e., "sterling silver" or "gold filled").

Always make sure to put on your pearl jewelry last.

  • Always make sure to put on your pearl jewelry last.

Do not store in direct sunlight or any other hot environment that may cause the pearl to crack, discolor or lose its luster.

Pearls should be kept away from humidity, which can cause them to become cloudy or dull their shine over time. If you do not have an air-tight container available at home, a silk bag will work just fine!
