Pearl Jewelry/ Pearl Caring
Wear When you are going
to wear your pearl jewelry, cosmetics should be applied before and not after the
jewelry is put on. Do not wear pearls while carrying out heavy work. Take your
pearl jewelry off when they might contact any possible acid or alkali substances
including chlorine in swim pool, hair sprays, perfume, soap¡
Some
fabrics, like Shetland wool, are rough enough to scratch the pearls. Try to
avoid wearing pearls with those fabrics.
Cleaning After
wearing, clean your pearls with a soft cloth that has been dampened in clean
cool water (distilled water is suggested, for it doesn¡¯t contain too much
mineral substances which can deposit on the surface of pearls and weaken the
pearl luster). When not worn for extended periods, at regular intervals, the
pearls should be wiped with a soft cloth dampened in clean cool water.
Do not use any brush or detergent excepting for pearls-cleaning use only
to clean your pearl. Brush can scratch the pearl. Detergent may eat off the
nacre of pearls.
Storing and Caring Store
your pearls in jewelry pouches, cloth bags or jewelry box. Keep them separated
to avoid scratching. Pearls contain 2~4% combined water. Store them in a cool
and a little bit humidity condition. Dessicant, heating source or sealed plastic
bags which can make pearls dehydrated and gotten brittle will be not good for
pearl storing.
The string or glue of pearl jewelry can get dirty or weak
with time. Take your jewelry to jewelers for periodical restrung or fixed.
Fading and other color
changing The color of some pearls may fade or change when exposed to
strong lights. In these cases, your pearl jewelry should not be exposed to
strong natural and artificial light or to strong display lighting for an
extended period of time.

wearing habit, and proper caring, high quality pearl jewelries can keep their
beauty for more than decades or even hundreds of years.
