Caring for Your Pearl Jewelry
Pearls are delicate gems that require special care to maintain their natural beauty. Always avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals, perfumes, and extreme temperatures, as these can damage their luster. After wearing, wipe them gently with a soft cloth to remove any oils or residue. Store pearls separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching, and consider having them professionally cleaned to keep them looking their best.
