How Can I Clean My Pearl Jewelry?




Like every other kind of jewelry, it's important that you take certain steps in maintaining your pearl jewelry. By maintaining it you are not only keeping it nice and shiny and looking good, but you are also ensuring that piece of jewelry stays at a pristine type of quality. When cleaning pearl jewelry, you can follow the steps mentioned in this blog to keep your pearls looking spick and span!

Now most of the pearls we wear these days are cultured pearls. These are pearls that brought into the surface by specialists that use various tools in order to get into the oyster or clam and get the pearl out. Of course that oysters are protective of their pearls, and place a substance over the pearl to protect it. Depending on the amount of the coating placed over the pearl, this will give it different levels of thickness. If the thickness increases, as does the quality and durability of the pearl!

When your pearls require a cleaning, you can wipe them with a soft cloth which can also be moistened or not. Simply rub around the pearls and in any crevices that your pearl jewelry would have. Dirty pearls can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution - try Ivory. Don't put abrasive cleaners, scrubs or place them in an ultra-sonic cleaner!
