Caring for Your Pearls: Expert Maintenance Tips for Longevity

How to Care for All Pearls: Essential Maintenance Tips

Pearls are delicate treasures that require gentle handling. Here’s how you can care for your pearls, whether they’re Golden South Sea pearls, Akoya, or Freshwater pearls:

  • Wear Your Pearls Regularly: Regular wear allows the natural oils from your skin to nourish the nacre, enhancing its luster. Remember to put them on last when dressing and take them off first when undressing.

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your pearls away from perfumes, lotions, hair products, and cleaning agents, as they can damage the delicate surface of the pearls.

  • Clean Your Pearls Carefully: Gently wipe your pearls with a soft, damp cloth after wearing them to remove oils or residue. Never use abrasive materials or chemicals to clean them.

  • Store Pearls Properly: Always store your pearls in your Pearls by Shari soft pouch or jewelry box to protect them from scratches and prevent them from rubbing against other jewelry.

Golden South Sea Pearls: Special Care for Exquisite Beauty

Golden South Sea pearls are particularly sensitive to extreme temperatures. These pearls, known for their luxurious golden hues and larger sizes, benefit from additional care:

  • Avoid Extreme Temperatures: While we encourage you to wear your pearls often, we recommend avoiding exposing them to extreme temperatures for extended periods.

  • Minimize Friction: Store them separately from other jewelry to protect their lustrous finish.
