I wear my pearls almost everyday; whats the best way to care for them?
All cosmetics and soaps can be harmful to pearls. It’s best to apply your makeup, hair spray and perfume first and then put on your pearls, preferably on top of clothes or on skin that doesn’t have any chemical residue. When you take them off, wipe them with a soft cloth that can either be damp or dry; store them separately from your other jewelry so that they will not get scratched. We also recommend that you restring your pearls every two years with normal wear and annually if you wear them often. Make sure your pearls are knotted to keep from losing them if the strand accidentally breaks. Regular care will dramatically extend the life of any type of pearl. If you feel they need to be cleaned, just bring them in to us for a check up.
