While many people love their pearls, some believe that caring for pearls is too time consuming. This is a falsehood - as often caring for your pearls is very easy. There are some simple tips when it comes to caring for your pearls that will help to extend their life a great deal. Adding these to your daily life when you are wearing your pearls is very helpful. Just imagine the joy you will feel as you pass down your pearl necklace, bracelet or earrings to your granddaughter on her wedding day. Watching her walk down the aisle wearing your pearls.
Pearls on first & pearls off first. This is an easy rule to remember as you dress or undress. Women especially are known for wearing cosmetics, hair spray or mousse - and these items can damage the surface of their pearls. The tiny particles can be so small you might not think about them - but to a pearl they are very troublesome! To treasure your pearls longer - put your pearls on first as you dress and take them off first as you dress.
Have a special place for your pearls. One of the top TLC secrets for pearl lovers is simply having a cool, dry place to keep their pearls. Remember to keep them in a soft cloth or their own jewelry box where they won’t rub against other items. Even adding small items like earrings could be bothersome to your pearls - you’ll do best to keep this box “pearls only.”
Put away your pearls after each use. Now this tip ties in so well to the one above, that’s why we’re putting it next to it! It is best to keep your pearls put away after each use. Don’t let them stay out on your bedroom dresser, bathroom sink or other places. Tiny particles of makeup, dirt or other things can attach to your delicate pearls. Better to keep them safe in their own special box.
Remember to have your pearls re-strung regularly. We’ve all seen those great movie scenes where a woman touches her pearls and they fly all over the place - and people slip and fall on those beautiful pearls! We know you’d rather keep your pearls safe and secure around your neck, wrist or on your ears. Get your pearls re-strung by a professional jeweler on a regular basis. Ask your jewelry store for advice on frequency - as it will depend on the pearl jewelry.
Enjoy your pearl jewelry and wear it whenever you please. Now this may sound like rather obvious advice - but some get so caught up in caring for their pearls that they neglect the most important part - enjoying their pearls! We believe your pearls should come out on a Tuesday afternoon to make you feel special. Or to celebrate that Saturday night date with your husband, even if you’re just going to the movies. Pearls somehow make everything a little bit more special. Don’t they? They deserve to be enjoyed!
