How to Maintain Your Pearls
Pearls are usually more vulnerable than other gemstones. Thus, they can be scratched or damaged easily if keeping them together with other gems or gold jewellery in a mass. Once a pearl is scratched, it cannot recover through peeling or polishing. In fact, pearls can be preserved for many years, provided that they are not physically scratched or chemically eroded. To maintain the quality of your favourite pearls, please be alert to the following Dos or Don’ts:
  • DOs
    1. Keep your pearls away from other jewelleries.
    2. Place a glass of water next to the pearls whenever your pearls are exposed under spotlights.
    3. After use, clean your pearls with distilled water.
    4. Restring your pearl strands periodically to avert from thread break.
  • DON’Ts
    1. Spray perfumes on your pearls directly.
    2. Wear your pearls and do household or kitchen work.
    3. Clean your pearls using an ultrasonic cleaner plus ammonia solution.
    4. Wear your pearls and go to swimming pool or hot spring
