CARE

 

 

Every jewelry piece requires proper care to retain its beauty and luster. All jewelry pieces should be kept away from perfumes, cosmetics, perspiration, chlorine, vinegar, ammonia, and dirt. We recommend that you put them on last, after hair products and perfume. From time to time, each piece of jewelry should be wiped with mild soap and water without using any harsh chemicals and then wiped dry with soft cloth. Over time, lotions, powders, soaps, and natural skin oils can make jewelry and gemstones appear dull.
 
Natural pearls however require special attention. They should be removed before exercising to protect them from perspiration. After wearing, gently wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. Wash pearls periodically with mild soap (not detergent) and a soft cloth. Rinse pearls in clean water and wrap them in a thin, damp cotton towel to dry. To prevent scratches, pearls should be stored away from other objects in the provided storage pouch. However, do not store them in an airtight package such as a plastic bag. Pearls need moisture; an excessively dry environment can cause cracking to occur.
