The Best Way to Care For Your Cultured Pearls

Treat them with care

• They should be the Last Thing you put on and the first you take off
• Never store pearls with metal jewelry
• Store pearls separately (They can be scratched)
• Keep them in a chamois bag
• Store in a fabric-lined jewelry box

Don't Expose Pearls to:

• hair sprays
• cosmetics
• perfumes
• chemical cleaners (ammonia & bleach)
• ultrasonic cleaning machines

Don't

• Dip your pearls in water or wear them while bathing, as water can weaken the string
• Pearls should not be placed in an air tight container. They need to breathe or they will lose their natural moisture and crack.

Should any of these contaminants come in contact with your pearls they can eat away at the culture of the pearl:

• Have them professionally cleaned

Maintenance

• Bring your pearls for inspection and restringing once a year
• Have your pearls strung with a knot between each pearl
• If they are stored in a safe, place a container of water in the safe to keep the compartment humid
