Like diamonds and gold, cultured a pearl jewelry is more than just a fashion statement – it is an investment that must be properly cared for in order to maintain its beauty and value.
Unlike diamonds and gold, pearls are relatively soft and delicate and are sensitive to foreign chemicals such as cleaning solutions or even some oils produced by the skin. Therefore, to ensure the safety and integrity of your cultured pearl necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets please follow these guidelines:
• Put on your pearls only after you’ve finished applying makeup, moisturizers, and perfume
• Wipe down your pearls with a soft cloth after each use to help maintain luster
• To avoid scratches and nicks, store your pearls away from harder gemstones and precious metal jewelry items
• Do not use ultrasonic cleaners, ammonia-based detergents, or harsh chemical solvents on your pearls
• Revitalize dingy or dirty pearls by periodically cleaning them with warm water and mild soap
