Care
Pearl is generally stable to light, but heat from intense light can cause dehydration and cracked nacre.
Chemicals and all acids can damage pearls, including hair spray, perfume, cosmetics, and even perspiration.
Pearls should never be cleaned in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner. It’s safe to use warm, soapy water for occasional, thorough cleaning. If the pearls are strung, be sure the string is completely dry before wearing.
For routine care, it’s best to wipe cultured pearls with a very soft, clean cloth after each wearing.
