Caring for Pearls
When wearing pearls, avoid perfumes or any other alcohol or oil based products on your body that may touch them. Pearls come from the sea, and therefore do not like to be dehydrated! A quick spritz of perfume or hairspray can take the finest of pearls, and over time,turn them into dry, dull beads. Hairspray and other styling products should be applied before putting on any pearl jewelry as they will leave a dulling film on the surface of your pearls. Perfume and hand lotions should not be applied anywhere pearls may touch. Instead, perhaps dab a little perfume behind your ears, or on your clothing, but never on your neck when wearing pearls. The alcohol in the perfume will leech out any moisture in your precious jewels from the sea. Treat them gently and they will last you a lifetime.
