PEARL CARE

Pearls are durable, but care is necessary to keep them beautiful and lustrous:

Gently wipe pearls with a soft cloth to remove body oils or dirt before putting them away

Pearls should be stored away from other objects or jewellery that may scratch the pearls surface. Wrap the pearls in linen, soft cloth, or place in a soft pouch. Do not store pearls in an airtight package such as a plastic bag because pearls need moisture. If the environment is too dry, the pearls may crack

Keep pearls away from chlorine bleach, vinegar, ammonia, hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics, as these substances will damage the pearls surface. Make sure to put pearls on after finished spraying perfume or hairspray and putting on makeup. Also, remove pearls before exercising to keep them away from perspiration

By the very nature of sterling silver, there is no way to protect it from tarnishing because sterling silver reacts with so many materials found in everyday life. The best way to reduce tarnish build-up is to actually wear your sterling silver jewellery often. When sterling silver is not worn it tarnishes quickly. Unavoidable I'm afraid, but perfectly normal and nothing to be concerned by, and it can easily be removed with a silver polishing cloth or polishing cream.
