Caring for your pearl

As with all pearls, to preserve the beauty of the gem, we recommend the following care guidelines.

• As a rule, put pearls on last when dressing and first off when undressing. Pearls can be affected by hairspray, perfume, make-up and chemicals in general. Take special care not to expose pearl dress rings to household chemical and acidic based foods, please remove your pearl ring when washing hands etc. Even if you are really careful with your pearls, your own body oils are slightly acidic and can damage the surface of pearls over time.

• We recommend that you avoid leaving your pearls in intense sunlight for prolonged periods.

• Pearls are softer than other gems and so proper care is important. It is best to store your pearl jewellery separately to avoid scratching the surface against harder gems.

• We suggest you wear your jewellery carefully and avoid pearls rubbing against abrasive fabrics and objects.

• Wipe your pearl gently with a clean cloth before putting it away.

• Occasionally clean your pearls gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then rinse in fresh water then dry them with a soft cloth.
