How to Care for Your Pearls: A Timeless Treasure

Welcome to the Caelum Jewellery blog! As our cherished customers know, pearls are a timeless treasure. Their lustrous beauty and elegance make them a favorite in any jewellery collection. To ensure that your pearls remain as radiant as the day you first acquired them, it's essential to care for them properly. Here are some tips on how to maintain your pearls:

1. Wear Your Pearls Regularly

Pearls thrive on natural oils from your skin. Wearing them regularly helps maintain their luster. However, avoid exposing them to excessive perspiration.

2. Avoid Contact with Chemicals

Pearls are delicate and can be damaged by chemicals found in perfumes, cosmetics, hairspray, and cleaning products. Always put on your pearls after applying makeup and styling products.

3. Clean Your Pearls Gently

After each wear, wipe your pearls with a soft, damp cloth to remove any traces of perspiration, makeup, or oils. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then rinse with water and dry gently.

4. Store Pearls Properly

Store your pearls in a soft cloth pouch or a separate compartment in your jewellery box to prevent them from being scratched by other jewellery. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can cause moisture buildup and damage.

5. Handle with Care

Avoid tugging or pulling on your pearl necklace or bracelet. Handle them gently to prevent stretching or breaking the silk thread.

6. Keep Pearls Away from Extreme Conditions

Pearls are sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your pearls remain a cherished part of your jewellery collection for years to come. Thank you for choosing Caelum Jewellery, where we believe that every piece tells a story.
