The pearl is an organic gem that goes through all periods of life: youth, maturity, old age and evolves with them. It is sensitive and therefore easily scratched, cracked or damaged.
Fragile, it fears grease, acidity and sweat.
To preserve its beauty, you must wear natural pearl jewelry often, but not all skins are suitable for it: some steal its shine, others give it some. You must also be careful with substances such as perfume or lacquer for example, which can dull the luster of the pearls by making them dull, opaque and thus makes their shine disappear.
Perfume yourself before wearing your pearl jewelry to avoid direct contact with your pearls, which are very sensitive.
Before storing your jewelry, after wearing it, use a soft, damp cloth to remove all traces of the product. You can also wash your pearls periodically with a mild PH neutral soap and a soft cloth to remove deposits accumulated during the wearing of your jewelry.
The delicacy of pearls requires that you store your pearl jewelry separately from your other jewelry. If possible, store them in a case or pouch to prevent scratching or other damage.
Another important tip we can give you is to have your pearl necklaces or pearl bracelets re-strung once a year. They are mounted on silk threads so that they do not get damaged. A knot separates each bead so that you don't risk losing all your beads in case of breakage and so that they don't wear against each other.
If you follow these few tips, you will be able to keep your pearl jewelry for decades and no doubt pass it on from generation to generation, preserving the brilliance and luster that the pearls had on the first day.
