How Do I Care For My Pearls?
White South Sea cultivated pearls are made up of layers of sumptuous
natural pearl nacre and require the same care as you would give
your finest silk gown. Pearls love to be worn and take on the warmth
and glow of the wearer’s
skin. However the following tips will ensure that white South Sea pearls
keep on looking and feeling wonderful to wear.
Put pearls on after applying make-up, perfume and hairspray.
Don’t allow pearls to rub against more abrasive jewellery.
Wipe pearls gently with a soft cloth occasionally before
putting away.
Never store pearls with other pieces of jewellery. Keep them
wrapped in a soft cloth.
Have pearl strands re-strung by a reliable jeweller every
year or two depending on how often they are worn.
To clean pearls rub them with a cloth dipped in a well diluted
mix of alcohol and warm water or in a weak solution of soap
and water. Then dip the cloth in clean water and rub this over
the pearls, finally dry with a clean cloth. Never leave pearls
wet.
Finally white South Sea pearls are remarkably resilient and
should be worn and enjoyed every day.
