Caring for Tahitian Pearls:

1. Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Pearls are organic gemstones and can be damaged by chemicals found in cosmetics, perfumes, hairspray, and household cleaning products. Always apply these substances before putting on your pearl jewelry to minimize exposure.

2. Clean Gently: After wearing, gently wipe your pearls with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any oils, sweat, or dirt. Avoid using harsh cleaners or abrasive materials, as they can scratch the surface of the pearls.

3. Store Separately: Store your pearl jewelry separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches. Ideally, wrap each piece of pearl jewelry in a soft cloth or store them in a soft pouch. Avoid storing pearls in airtight containers, as they require some moisture to prevent drying out and cracking.

4. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Pearls are sensitive to extreme temperatures, which can cause them to crack or become discolored. Avoid exposing your pearls to direct sunlight, high heat, or extreme cold for prolonged periods.

5. Limit Exposure to Water: While pearls are formed in water, prolonged exposure to water can weaken the silk thread used to string them and cause it to stretch or break. Remove pearl jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in water-related activities.

6. Re-String Periodically: If you wear your pearl necklace or bracelet frequently, it's a good idea to have it professionally re-strung every few years. Over time, the silk thread can become stretched or weakened, increasing the risk of breakage.

7. Wear with Care: Pearls are relatively soft compared to other gemstones, so take care to avoid knocking them against hard surfaces or subjecting them to rough treatment. Remove pearl jewelry before engaging in activities that could potentially damage them.
