Like any precious heirloom, pearl jewelry will require some care to preserve its freshness and beauty.
Occasionally clean the pearls gently with a cloth dipped in alcohol diluted with warm water, or in mild soapy water. Then rinse the cloth in fresh water and wipe the pearls clean. Dry them with a soft cloth.
The following hints will help you keep your pearls looking their lustrous best.
- Wait until after applying makeup, perfume, and hairspray to put on jewelry. Some chemicals may harm jewelry.
- Don’t allow pearls to rub against harder gems.
-
Before putting pieces away, wipe the pearl jewelry softly with a clean cloth.
- For storage, keep the pearl jewelry wrapped in a soft cloth and protected from abrasive objects.
-
Strands will need restringing from time to time, depending on how often they are worn. Pearls that are loose between the knots need to be restrung. Restringing services are available from J. Mauer Jewelry - consult with us annually on restringing.
