How to Care for Pearls and Other Delicate Stones

Pearls and delicate stones require special attention to maintain their beauty and luster. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert in jewelry care, understanding the unique needs of these precious items is essential.

Understanding Pearls

Pearls are organic gems created by living creatures. Their delicate nature means they are susceptible to scratches and damage from harsh chemicals. Always put on pearls after applying makeup or perfume to avoid contact with potentially harmful substances.

Cleaning Pearls

Use a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water to gently wipe your pearls clean. Avoid soaking them in water, as this can weaken the string holding them together.

Storing Pearls Safely

Store pearls separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches. A soft pouch or a lined jewelry box is ideal for keeping them safe.

Caring for Other Delicate Stones

Like pearls, other delicate stones such as opals and turquoise also need careful handling. Keep them away from heat and chemicals, and store them in a cool, dry place.
