Improperly cared for, worn pearls change color, lose their luster, begin to crumble, crack, and spots or scratches appear. However, a few rules will help keep them attractive for many years:
Pearls are harmed by chemicals, they should be protected from the effects of perfumes, soaps, creams, and cleaning products. So even when washing your hands, remove rings, bracelets with pearls.
It is recommended to store jewelry with pearls in a linen or cotton bag separately from other jewelry. A closed box is not suitable for them, because pearls like to “breathe”.
Gently clean the jewelry with pearls individually with a very soft cloth, it is recommended to do this after each wear. You can even add a drop of olive oil.
High temperatures, heat, fire, steam can change the color of pearls or otherwise damage them.
Don’t be surprised if your pearls change color from sweat – it can happen.
Vinegar, lemon juice, essential oils, hairspray and even perfume are enemies of pearls. Therefore, smell the places that will not come into contact with jewelry and put them on when you have already smelled them.
And one more important tip: try to adorn yourself with products with pearls as often as possible, so that you don’t have to wait years for them!
