Jewelry should be stored in a cool, dark place, in a way that won’t scratch the surface of the jewelry. The lower the humidity, the better. 

Our recommendation is “Last on, first off” - meaning you should put your jewelry on after you’ve pampered yourself with perfumes and lotions, give them a minute to sink in. 

In addition, removing the pieces before showering, swimming, or any other chemical you might frolic around ;)
These are all tips to make sure your jewelry is well maintained, but if you’re anything like me- one or two showers won’t do much harm :) 

First of all, even before we talk about cleaning, did you know that as your jewelry helps you shine -
you actually help it shine too??

Pearl Maintenance Tips

1. “Last on, first off”. Pearls should be the final touch to your outfit. Avoid applying makeup, hairspray, lotion, or perfume once your pearls are on.

2. Create a dedicated space for your pearls. Soft pearls are prone to scratches, so store them separately in fabric-lined compartments.

3. Wear your pearls often. Pearls do best in a moist environment, so wearing them frequently keeps them from drying out. Cool right? :)

Now go ahead and enjoy your new pearls :)
