CARE INSTRUCTIONS: The best way to care for pearls is to wear them often, as the body?s natural oils keep pearls lustrous. However, it?s important to keep them away from household chemicals including perfume, makeup and hairspray. Chemicals found in these products can dull the luster of your pearls. We recommend that you put your pearls on last when getting ready and make them the first thing you take off when you come home. Before putting your pearls away, wipe them with a special microfiber pearl cleaning cloth and store them separate from other jewelry to avoid scratching, especially away from real diamonds.
