Pearls are nature’s masterpiece – organic, luminous, and timeless. Unlike diamonds or gemstones, they’re soft and porous, demanding gentle care. Follow these steps to ensure your pearls remain heirlooms:
1. Last On, First Off:
Apply perfume, hairspray, and cosmetics before wearing pearls. Chemicals and alcohol can dull their luster and damage the nacre.
2. Gentle Cleaning:
After wearing, wipe pearls with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use mild soapy water (never soak them!). Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. Avoid: ultrasonic cleaners, steam, vinegar, or harsh chemicals.
3. Store with Love:
Keep pearls separate in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box. Never toss them with harder gemstones or metals that can scratch their surface.
4. Wear Them Often:
Pearls thrive on moisture from your skin! Regular wear helps maintain their natural radiance.
5. Restring Regularly:
Silk thread stretches and weakens over time. Have necklaces and bracelets professionally restrung every 1-2 years (or if knots appear loose).
Cherish your Auraperle pearls – they’re not just jewelry, they’re living heirlooms.
