| Gently wipe pearls with a soft cloth to remove body oils or dirt before putting them away. |
| |
| Pearls should be stored away from other objects or jewelry that may scratch the pearls’ surface. Wrap the pearls in linen, soft cloth, or place in a soft pouch. Do not store pearls in an airtight package such as a plastic bag because pearls need moisture. If the environment is too dry, the pearls may crack. If placing the pearls in a safety deposit box or in a hot environment, leave a damp cloth nearby. |
| |
| Keep pearls away from chlorine bleach, vinegar, ammonia, hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics, as these substances will damage the pearl surface. Make sure to put pearls on after you have finished spraying perfume or hairspray and putting on makeup. Also, remove pearls before exercising to keep them away from perspiration. Be very careful with substances as they may eat holes in the pearl nacre. |

| Pearls should be wrapped or stored in a chamois cloth. Free from any oils or additives. Not linen or soft pouches as they can scratch natural pearls. Keep pearls away from chlorine bleach, vinegar as these substances can damage the pearls permanently without any ability to restore. |
| |
| Restring pearls once a year. Be sure to have each pearl knotted separately, with silk, so they do not rub together and wear on the pearl nacre. If pearls are very small, knots between each pearl may not be desirable or necessary. |
