Pearl Jewelry – Tips To Keep Their Luster
Every woman can pull off wearing pearls no matter what they’re wearing – from that well-known black dress to that spectacular wedding gown. Taking good care of them will make them last for many generations to come. So if what you have are natural or cultured pieces, read on. The following are some simple tips on keeping the beauty of pearl jewelry long lasting.
Every item should be stored in separate pouches – bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, etc. Ideally, the pouches should be out of linen, cotton or silk. It’s also fine to place them inside a jewelry box. But make sure they get their own compartment that’s lined. Other jewelry’s metal and gemstone parts can definitely scratch the fine surface of pearls should they rub off against them.
Keep them from getting in contact with harsh chemicals. Your perfumes, hair styling products, make up and other cosmetics may contain such chemicals. That’s why you should apply them all first before putting on your jewelry. Before storing them at the end of the day, make it a habit to wipe them off with a cloth that’s dry and soft. This will deal with chemical residues on their surface.
There are certain types of fabrics which are rough enough to damage their fine surface. Avoid putting on pearls if you’re wearing clothes with such fabrics. Also, metal hooks, buttons, zippers and the likes on your clothes can damage your pearls. That’s why they should be the last thing you put on when dressing, and the first thing you take off when undressing.
While the natural oils on your skin can enhance the luster of your jewelry, the acids on your skin can damage it. That’s why you should remember to wipe them clean each time before storing them. Occasionally, you may use a damp cloth for a thorough cleaning. But make sure you let them completely dry naturally before storage. Do not use any cleaning solution except something that’s formulated for pearls.
Before cleaning the house, exercising, or going inside a hot and humid area, make sure you remove them. This will prevent your pieces from unnecessary getting into contact with sweat, dirt and chemicals. As with necklaces, take them off before dipping in the pool. Prolonged exposure to water may weaken the silk string holding the pearls together.
Speaking of necklaces, it’s best to have them restrung every 1 to 2 years by an experienced jeweler. Usually, silk thread is used, although nylon has become an acceptable alternative these days. See to it that knots are made between pearls to spare them from rubbing against each other. And as added precaution, these knots will also keep the pieces from falling all together should the string break.
The beauty of pearl jewelry never goes out of style. They may not be as expensive as diamonds, but they’re usually not cheap either. That’s why it’s important that you properly take good care of them to make them last for a very long time.
