How to Care for Your Pearl Jewelry
By Pearls & Colors
Pearls are organic gems that require special care to maintain their natural beauty. Here are our expert recommendations.
Daily Care
Always put your pearls on last when dressing and remove them first. Perfume, hairspray, and cosmetics can damage the nacre over time.
Cleaning
Gently wipe your pearls with a soft, damp cloth after each wearing. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with a mild soap. Never use ultrasonic cleaners or steam.
Storage
Store pearls separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching. A soft pouch or lined jewelry box is ideal. Avoid airtight containers, as pearls need a small amount of moisture.
Re-stringing
We recommend having pearl necklaces professionally re-strung every one to two years, depending on frequency of wear.
