To care for your pearls, keep them in a soft fabric or suede pouch. Try to avoid dropping them, or other traumatic stresses. To clean them, rinse your pearls in water then dab a small amount of mild soap on the palm of your hand. Lather, then apply gently to pearls, massaging them between your hands to cleanse. If they are very dirty, a very soft toothbrush, and gentle scrubbing may remove stubborn residue. Rinse very well with cool water and lay on a soft towel to dry. This will also keep the silk that the pearls are strung on tight and white!
