How to Care for Pearls and Other Delicate Stones
Jewelry lovers know that pearls and other delicate stones require special attention to maintain their natural beauty. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore tips and tricks suitable for both beginners and seasoned jewelry enthusiasts.
Understanding Pearls
Pearls are organic gemstones, meaning they are derived from living organisms. Their unique luster and soft texture make them a favorite among jewelers. However, their organic nature also means they are more susceptible to damage from chemicals and abrasion.
Tips for Beginners
- Always put on your pearls after applying makeup, perfume, or hairspray to prevent chemical exposure.
- Wipe your pearls with a soft cloth after each wear to remove oils and dirt.
Advanced Care Techniques
- Store pearls in a separate compartment or pouch to avoid scratches from other jewelry.
- Have your pearl strands restrung every few years to ensure durability.
