Pearls are acquired from a living organism. They are very different from precious and semi-precious stones. Pearls can absorb odors and, in some cases, stains if not cared for properly. You should not wear pearls on bare skin if you will be sweating. In addition, you should avoid having perfume applied to areas where pearls will come to rest.
