Pearls are soft compared to other gemstones and precious metals. It is important to take special care of your pearls to ensure they will remain bright and beautiful for generations to come.

Personal Care Products Can Damage Pearls
Cosmetics, perfume and hair spray all contain chemicals that can dull the luster of a pearl. The natural acids contained in body oils and perspiration can damage pearls in the same way. It is best to put your pearls on after applying makeup, perfume and hair spray.

Simple Steps to Protect Your Pearls
Wiping the pearls with a soft damp cloth after you wear them will ensure that they remain free from harmful build-ups of these compounds. Periodically, pearls should be washed with a mild soap.

Store Pearls Separately from Other Jewelry
Always keep your pearls separated from hard jewelry items, to prevent them from being scratched. Pearls are best kept in a soft cloth pouch or a soft lined jewelry box or compartment.

When to Have Pearls Restrung
If you wear your pearls often, they should be restrung about once a year to prevent strand breakage. Experts suggest the use of silk thread. However, nylon thread is an acceptable alternative. The string should be knotted between each pearl to prevent all the pearls in a strand from falling off should a break occur. Knotting also keeps the pearls from rubbing against each other.
