Saltwater Vs. Freshwater Pearls

Pearls - Saltwater Vs. Freshwater Pearls

Pearls are a popular and very beautiful addition to any jewelry collection. Many women find that pearls can be used as an accessory for almost any type of outfit, which makes them versatile as well as beautiful. However pearls are quite soft, as far as gems go, and it's important to care for them gentle and regularly. Here are a few tips for keeping your pearls in peak condition.

To keep your pearls lustrous and glowing, it's important to wipe them regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water. Never use detergents to clean your pearls. Being soft and absorbent, pearls can absorb skin oils, dirt and perfume, and they do it very quickly. So clean your pearls frequently, preferably every time you wear them. This will stop any contaminants getting permanently absorbed into the pearls.

Pearls don't like extreme temperatures, so be careful where you store them when not in use. Never leave your pearls in the glove box of your car on a hot day. Also make sure they're stored in a warmer room of the house, rather than in a cold, damp basement.

It's also important to realize that pearls can get scratched easily, so store them in a soft place. This may mean a padded jewelry box, or perhaps wrap your pearls in a soft cloth before placing them in a drawer. Other jewelry, such as diamonds or gemstones, can scratch pearls, so never store them right next to each other. Always wrap up your pearls first.

Pearls also don't like chemicals, including alcohol, vinegar and hair spray. These substances can erode the surface of the pearls. So don't use cleaning fluids that contain alcohol or vinegar. Also, make sure you've finished applying your cosmetics and hairspray before you put on your pearls, so that you don’t inadvertently get any makeup or hairspray on the surface of the pearls.

Finally, it's a good idea to restring your pearl necklace every year or two, particularly if you wear it a lot. Most pearls are strung on silk thread, and over time this can weaken. The last thing you want to do is have the string break while you're out, and your pearls roll off into places where you'll never find them again.
