Cleaning Tips For A Freshwater Pearl Necklace
- Make sure that you never apply makeup or perfume whilst wearing your necklace. If you do you will find that chemicals within these products will cause damage to the surface of the pearls.
- After wearing your pearls you should remove them and give them a good clean to help remove any dirt or chemicals from the surface. The best way to clean them is with a soft cloth and some warm water and some gentle soap solution. Cleaning them with a rough cloth will cause minute scratches to appear on the surface of these beautiful gemstones. This is why you should also never brush the surface of the pearls to remove any dirt from the surface.
- After cleaning your Freshwater pearl necklace, make sure that you wipe them down with some clean water. This will help to remove any soap residue from the surface. Then lightly wipe with a soft cloth to remove any moisture. Remember pearls are very porous and any moisture left on the surface can go into the pearl and cause them to become discoloured.
- Finally, after you’ve finished cleaning your Freshwater pearl necklace place in either a soft cloth bag or the box they were given to you in.
