Pearl. Taking care.

Pearl: Taking care. Unlike diamonds, pearl is not forever. The saltwater pearl will live about 150 years, while the freshwater one - only about 70 years. Then it dies - becomes dull and covered by fractions. For that reason, you cannot consider the pearl jevelry a lifelong investment. Only very rich people can afford buying the high quality pearl jewelry, which only serves to confirm their wealth. This is exactly what makes pearl so attractice in certain circles of our cociety. As the pearl is an organic gem, the rules for it are different from the rules for other gemstones. First of all, if does not survive any acid environment. Second, it is made from the relatively soft mother of pearl, it can be easily scretched or fractured. Third, such innocent (for us) substances, as perfume or our own sweat may damage the pearl, make it dull. Scared? Don't be. Simply use perfume first, and only then put on the pearl jewelry. Make it the last touch before you leave dressing room, and the first thing you take off when you return home. After use, do not forget to wipe the pearl with the soft tissue, to clean it of the dust, acid sweat, cosmetics. This way you can minimize the contact of the pearl with the hostile environment. Periodically, wash your pearl jewelry in the warm water with soap. Use only a very soft tissue to remove water after washing is complete. A prefered way of storing the pearl jewelry is wrapped in the soft tissue, to prevent it from contacting with other pieces of jevelry. Ideally, each piece of pearl jewelry should have its own box, covered with something soft from inside. Pearl necklaces, especially if you are wearing them often, have a tendency to break, usually - in the most inappropriate moments. As pearls fall down on the floor, they may break. To avoid it, simply visit a jewelry store once a year to replace the line in a necklace. Additionally, ask the person doing it to "tire" the beans. It will cost more, but it will protect the beans even if the line breaks. A note to the owner. Your pearl will live long and keep its shining beauty for you, if you follow these simple rules. Pearls and jewelry containing pearls should be stored separately from the other jewelry, to save it from scratches. Pearl should not be exposed for extended periods of time to a direct sunlite of (especially) heat. Otherwise, its surface may dry, change color or loose the luster. Do not take shower, do not swim in pool or in some other places wearing pearl (it sounds strange if you think of the large pieces of jewelry, but think of the ring, and you will realize that it may happen). The reason is simple: water in the pool may contain chemicals, like chlorine, as for the sea, you never know what it is polluted with... Also, swimming often comes together with the sun, and sun is not good for the pearl. Put on the pearl AFTER you are done with the cosmetics. Pearl and cosmetics are not friends, it is especially true if your cosmetics contains chemicals that change the color (of the skin, hair etc...) There is no reason to wear pearl jewelry while doing home activities, like washing dishes or doing laundry. Chemicals you use at home may be safe for your skin, but noone tested them for safety on pearl. After you take the jewelry off, wipe it with the soft tissue, or with clean alcohol, to remove fat (both from the skin and body lotions) and sweat. The easiest way to take care of the pearl is to wash it in warm water 3-4 times a year. You may add hair shampoo to make it even cleaner. Then wash it in the clean water and wipe with the clean soft tissue. After this procedure, leave the pearl on the soft tissue open, for about 24 hours. To keep your treasure shining, every 2-3 years wipe it with the soft tissue with some olive oil. Next: Online store on Amazon Pearl home History and legends Pearl - what is it?
