In this blog we will talk about how they should be stored and how they should be cleaned.
First of all we need to make a premise.
What are pearls?
Pearls are living organisms and as such they must be treated in a certain way, particular and different from all your other jewels, to ensure that their beauty and luster is maintained for generations.
So whether you have a string of pearls, a bracelet of pearls or a pair of pearl earrings , or a pearl ring , you must never forget what you own and how it should be treated.
In this article I will reveal to you:
The best tricks to keep pearls always bright and shiny as they were just bought
- Always wear pearls. Here is one thing you must never forget: Pearls should be worn often! This is because pearls are alive and need fresh, moist air to maintain themselves. If you leave them still and locked in the safe, they risk oxidizing. When you open the safe you may find them “worn out”. The first thing that goes away is the cultivation, the layer that created the oyster above the core and that made it beautiful!
- Do not spray perfume or other chemicals on the pearls. Also due to the fact that they are alive, they must be the last thing you wear before going out and the first thing you take off when you get home! Never spray perfume with the pearl necklace on, put on make-up, get creamed or take a shower with shampoo or shower gel. All these products corrode the pearls and make their brilliance and luster disappear.
- Before storing the pearls, remember to always clean them. In fact, pearls absorb the acid produced by our skin and sweat, even these things corrode and ruin them. Therefore, when you remove them, remember to always wipe them in a soft and damp cloth such as chamois or deerskin, and once in a while wash them with warm water and neutral soap to degrease them. Remember to use a very soft toothbrush to avoid damaging them!
And here are the latest tricks to know!
- When storing the pearls, wrap them in a tissue or tissue paper. This is because the pearls and the cultivation that covers them are very delicate and the other jewels could scratch or scratch them. In addition, other fabrics may contain dyes or chemicals that could ruin them.
- Lastly, always check the thread for necklaces and bracelets. If you see it loose, have it re-threaded by your trusted jeweler. Pearls are usually strung with silk and nylon thread and knotted with a knot between one pearl and the other. Check above all the knots near the closure, because they are the ones that wear out more easily and thus avoid losing the necklace. The others, on the other hand, if they loosen, are aesthetically bad.
