Girls Care for Your Pearls!

 Care of Pearls

o  Wearing your pearls they should be the last thing you put on ~ and the first thing you take off.  Your pearls should never be exposed to hairspray, cosmetics, cream, or perfume.  They should not be worn in water; showering or swimming.

o  Cleaning of your pearls should be done with the utmost of care, wipe them with a soft cloth moistened with water and then dried or use jewelry cleaner that is labeled SAFE for pearls.  Never use an ultrasonic cleaner, any type of abrasive material, dish or laundry detergents or ammonia based cleaner.

o  Store your pearls wrapped in a soft cloth or pouch, NEVER in plastic.  Do not store them around a direct source of heat.

o  Pearls restrung should be done yearly, if they are worn a great deal.  Carefully examine the strand for any signs of wear. 

Your pearls are a magnificent ocean gift and the better care you give them; the longer their natural luster will be maintained as a treasured heirloom for generations.
