Caring for your Pearls

Caring for your Pearls

Pearls are durable and can retain their beautiful lustre for generations—but because they’re an organic gem, they need a little extra love and care.

To keep your pearls looking their best:

Put pearls on last: Apply makeup, hair products, sunscreen, and moisturiser before wearing your pearls to avoid contact with chemicals that can dull their lustre.

Avoid perfume: Don’t spray perfume directly where your pearls will sit.

Keep them dry: Remove pearls before swimming, showering, or playing sport—sweat and water (especially chlorinated) can damage them.

Store them safely: Keep pearls away from other jewellery to avoid scratches. Use a soft pouch or lined box, and avoid coloured boxes that may transfer dye over time.

Clean gently: Wipe your pearls with a soft, damp cloth after wearing. Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners—pearls prefer chemical-free care.

Wear them often: Your skin’s natural oils help keep pearls moisturised and lustrous.

Re-thread regularly: If you wear your strand often, have it re-threaded every 1–2 years to prevent breakage.

With a little care, your pearls will remain radiant and timeless for years to come.
