Pearls are living gems.
Their beauty comes from layers of nacre that need gentle care to retain their glow. With mindful handling, they can remain radiant for generations.
After wearing your pearls, wipe them softly with a clean cloth to remove any traces of oil or moisture. Avoid direct sprays of perfume or hairspray, and always put on your pearls last when getting ready. Store them in a silk pouch or soft fabric box away from other jewellery.
Pearls should never be soaked or exposed to high heat. If you wear your pearl necklace often, have it restrung every year or two. A little attention will ensure your pearls remain as luminous as the day you first wore them.
