Cosmetics, perfume, hairspray all contain chemicals that may dull the luster of a pearl over time. Pearls should be the last thing you put on (after the application of makeup, perfume, and hair products). It is a good idea to wipe your pearls with a soft, moist cloth each week to remove any traces of these harmful elements. Only use jewelry cleaners that are labeled safe for pearls.
Pearls are best stored in a soft cloth pouch or separate, lined compartment of your jewelry box as other hard or sharp jewelry can scratch them.
If you wear your pearls often, it is best to have them restrung at least once a year with an individual knot between each pearl.
Never use toothbrushes or any type of abrasive material to clean your Pearls. Never expose them to dish or laundry detergents, bleaches, powdered cleansers, baking soda or any ammonia based cleaner like Windex. Never use any type of ultrasonic cleaner or steam cleaner.
Never store your pearls in any type of plastic bag. Plastic can emit a chemical that will cause the surface of the Pearl to deteriorate.
Never leave your pearls around a direct source of heat such as a fireplace mantle, on top of a television set, or stove.
Never store your Pearls in a very dry room or in a safe deposit box for a long time. Your Pearls need a little moisture like your skin so that they will not dry out.
