Care Advice for your Jewelry
Caring for Your Pearl Jewelry
Pearls are organic gems that deserve special care to maintain their lustrous beauty for generations. Here's how to keep your repurposed pearl pieces looking their best:
Wear With Care:
- Put your pearls on last and remove them first - perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays can damage their delicate surface
- Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches
- Avoid wearing while swimming, showering, or exercising
Cleaning Instructions:
- Gently wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear
- For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap (never harsh chemicals)
- Allow pieces to dry completely before storing
- Never use ultrasonic cleaners or jewelry dips
Storage Tips:
- Store in a soft cloth pouch or lined jewelry box
- Keep away from direct sunlight and heat
- Avoid plastic bags which can trap moisture
- Store flat to prevent stretching of chains
Regular Care:
- Have your pearls restrung if worn frequently (every 2-3 years)
- Check settings and clasps periodically
- Consider professional cleaning annually
Remember: Pearls are soft gems that become more beautiful with proper wear, as your body's natural oils help maintain their luster. With proper care, these sustainable pieces will continue telling their story for years to come.
