Do you have that strand of pearls sitting in your jewelry cabinet that was passed down from your generation to generation? Pearl necklaces are a classic jewelry trend that will always be in style. With the appropriate care, your pearls will remain in beautiful condition for years to come. See the tips below.
Do's:
- Put your pearl jewelry on after you have applied your make-up and perfume. They will remain cleaner.
- Wipe your pearls with a soft, lint-free cloth as soon as you take them off to remove dirt and oils.
- Dirty pearls may be washed with a mild soap and water solution.
- Your fine pearl necklaces should be restrung periodically to ensure the silk or nylon cord is secure.
- Do not put your pearls in a ultrasonic cleanser.
- Never clean your pearls with solutions that contain harsh detergents or ammonia.
- Do not rub your pearls with an abrasive cloth. It can wear away the natural coating, creating a dull, plain looking pearl.
- Do not store your pearls with your other jewelry pieces. They can easily be scratched by other metals. Place them in a soft bag.
