Pearl Care

The Best Way to Care For
Your Cultured Pearls


 Treat them with care 

  • They should be the Last Thing you put on and the first you take off
  • Never store pearls with metal jewelry
  • Store pearls separately (They can be scratched)
  • Keep them in a chamois bag
  • Store in a fabric-lined jewelry box
 Don't expose pearls to: 

  • hair sprays
  • cosmetics
  • perfumes
  • chemical cleaners (ammonia & bleach)
  • ultrasonic cleaning machines
Should any of these contaminants come in contact with your pearls they can eat away at the culture of the pearl:
  • Have them professionally cleaned
 Maintenance: 

  • Bring your pearls for inspection and restringing once a year
  • Have your pearls strung with a knot between each pearl.
  • If they are stored in a safe, place a container of water in the safe to keep the compartment humid
