1️⃣ Daily Maintenance Tips
- Wear Last, Remove First: Perfumes, lotions, and sweat can corrode the pearl surface. Spray perfume before going out and put on pearls last; remove them immediately upon returning home to avoid contact with chemicals.
- Gentle Cleaning: Gently wipe pearls with a slightly damp soft cloth to remove stains and oils, then dry them thoroughly before storage. Note: Do not abuse cleaning agents!
- Separate Storage: Pearls have low hardness and are easily scratched. Store them in a soft flannel cloth or a pearl-specific storage box to avoid mixing with other jewelry.
2️⃣ Storage Precautions
- Environmental Conditions Matter: Pearls require proper humidity. Too dry an environment can cause them to crack, while excessive moisture can lead to mold (yes, pearls can mold!). Adjust the temperature and humidity in the storage area, and avoid direct sunlight or high temperatures.
- Regular “Awakening”: Pearls left stationary for long periods may lose their luster. It is recommended to take them out for wearing or wiping every 3–6 months to let them breathe.
- Prevent Thread Breakage: Regularly inspect the cords of pearl necklaces and bracelets. Replace worn-out threads promptly to avoid losing beads.
Master these tips, and your pearls will remain timeless, exuding 迷人光泽 (charming luster) for years to come!
