PEARL CARE
Whether you're wearing our rare South Sea pearls or a strand of our lustrous freshwater pearls, all pearls need a little TLC—especially the precious South Sea pearl. These gems of the ocean are organic treasures, so treating them with care ensures their timeless beauty lasts for generations.
Caring for Your South Sea Pearls
- Avoid Chemicals: Perfumes, hairspray, and cleaning products can dull their lustre. Always put your pearls on last, after makeup and styling.
- Wear Often: Pearls love natural oils from your skin, which help maintain their sheen.
- Store Properly: Keep South Sea pearls in a soft, breathable pouch or a separate compartment in your jewellery box. Avoid airtight containers, as pearls need moisture to prevent drying out.
- Clean Gently: After wearing, wipe them with a soft, damp cloth to remove oils and dirt. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution, but never submerge them.
Caring for Your Freshwater Pearls
Freshwater pearls are slightly more resilient than South Sea pearls but still deserve gentle care:
- Keep Dry: Like South Sea pearls, freshwater pearls are sensitive to chemicals and should be wiped with a soft cloth after wearing.
- Separate Storage: Store in a soft pouch or jewellery box away from other pieces to prevent scratching.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight or heat can fade their natural colour.
- Handle with Love: Avoid tugging or twisting the string when handling a strand, as this can loosen the knots or damage the thread.
With these simple steps, your pearls will remain as radiant as the day you brought them home!
