How to look after your pearls



Caring for your pearls

 
To maintain the appearance of pearls, you should avoid contact with perfume, hairsprays, cosmetics and perspiration. Pearls are porous, so it is best to keep exposure from moisture, to a minimum. Wiping them over with a soft, dry cloth will help to maintain their lustre. If pearls are strung onto silk thread, remember that this will wear & become weaker over the years.
 



 

Worn thread


Examine the thread regularly, to check for signs of fraying or stretched sections.
If properly cared for, pearls can last a lifetime.
