Pearl jewellery's very delicate, so you need to be very careful with them. First thing that you can do is to always keep them wrapped in a linen or silken cloth. Always do this after you have worn your pearl jewellery. Never wrap them in plastic. Or keep them near anywhere near moisture.
Not only wrap your pearls in silken or linen cloth but also clean it with them. Do not use any type of commercial cleaner for cleaning them. A lot of them are available in the market and they always promise to make your pearls shiny.do not fall for such promises. They contain a lot of chemical in them which will a bad effect on your pearls.
Do not use the ultrasonic cleaning machine or other hard material or mixtures like baking soda and kitchen cleansers. Remember, they are very harsh. They are used for cleaning tiles. And your pearls are definitely not as harsh as the kitchen tiles.
Also avoid contact with your perfumes and hairsprays. They form a lining or a type of coating on your pearl jewellery. The luster and shine of your pearls will also wear down.
Another important thing to remember while taking care of your beautiful pearls is to take them to the store from where you bought them almost every year, so that you get the string tightened. The jeweler will also tie knots between your pearls to increase the life of the set. The knot also helps in avoiding breaking of your pearl jewellery.
Make sure that you are not wearing a fabric that brushes against your pearls every now and then. You pearls will get scratches on them. Avoid wearing pearls when you are doing something that may break them. Protect them from dust and chemical as much as possible.
You have to remember that you have paid a lot of money for your exclusive pearl jewellery. Not everyone gets the chance to wear beautiful pearls. But you love wearing them to parties, formal functions, and wedding and so you should care of them. They make you look prettier, so they should be rewarded for it. All they need is to be taken care off.
