Cultured Pearl Care For Your Jewelry - Unlike diamonds, cultured pearls are not the
hardest gemstone in the world. This does not mean that they
won't last, and with a little extra care and some pearl education these healthy habits
will make your pearls last a lifetime! Therefore, whenwearing
pearls it’s important to remove your jewelry when engaging
in yard work,construction, ocean activities, or any type of
work that may be rough on your pearls. Chemicals also pose
as a threat to pearls. Avoid direct use of perfume, lotions,
or hair sprays. Contact with these chemicals may shorten your
pearls lifespan. This doesn't mean you should never use perfume
and lotions when you decide to wear pearls, that wouldn't
be fun. In general use this simple rule. Pearls should be
the first things off (when you get home) and the last on (when
going out). This way your pearls will avoid direct contacts
with perfume and lotions.
Pearls will get dirty from time to time. It's more than
normal when you use things. So when cleaning time comes
make sure you use a clean soft clean cloth with a touch
of water for your pearls. DO NOT use a toothbrush or soap.
Once done cleaning your pearls, place them on a clean dry
towel. We also advise restringing pearls on silk once every
year or two This keeps the pearlslooking fresh and avoids
the risk of breaking your strand and loosing pearls.
You can furthermore help ensure that your necklace doesn't
break or worse yet you loose any pearls by re-stringing them
once every 2-3 years. Depending on how often they are worn
and how much wear is on the strings they may not require restringing
this ofter. On the other hand if they get a lot of wear you
may even have to restring every year. Aloha Pearls currently
