Natural Color Golden South Sea Pearls

Caring for South Sea Pearls

1. Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Pearls are sensitive to chemicals found in cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, and household cleaners. To prevent damage, it's best to apply these products before putting on your pearl jewelry and to avoid direct contact with pearls.

2. Keep Away from Extreme Temperatures: Extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, can damage pearls. Avoid storing your pearls in areas with high humidity or exposing them to direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can cause them to become brittle or lose their luster.

3. Store Properly: When not wearing your pearls, store them separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching. Place them in a soft pouch or jewelry box lined with a soft cloth to protect them from abrasion and damage.

4. Clean Gently: If your pearls require cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe them gently. Avoid using harsh cleaners or abrasive materials that can scratch the pearl's surface. If necessary, you can use a mild soap solution, but be sure to rinse them thoroughly and pat them dry with a soft cloth.

5. Avoid Water Exposure: While South Sea pearls are generally more resilient than freshwater pearls, it's still best to avoid prolonged exposure to water. Remove your pearl jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in water-related activities to prevent damage to the pearls and the stringing material.

6. Restring Periodically: Over time, the string holding your pearls together may weaken or stretch. To prevent the risk of breakage and loss, have your pearl jewelry professionally restrung every few years, especially if you wear them frequently.

7. Wear with Care: Be mindful of how you wear your pearl jewelry. Avoid wearing them during activities that may subject them to excessive stress or impact, such as sports or heavy physical work.
