Pearls are soft and gentle one the eyes, as well as in their mineral makeup. This makes them sensitive to certain chemicals, which means you better be sure you know how to wear and clean them properly. Pearls are easily damaged by chemicals like perfume, vinegar and lemon juice. You should also know that extreme heat could turn pearls brown or make them crack. That is important to know when storing pearl designer jewelry for a long period of time.

Never use an ultrasonic cleaner. Pearls are too sensitive for the power of ultrasonic cleaners and could result in damage. The same applies for steam cleaners, dish detergents, bleaches, baking soda, and ammonia-based cleaners. Don't scrub the stones with a tooth brush, or any other abrasive material. Never wear pearl designer necklaces or designer bracelets when the string is wet, and you should have them restrung once a year if you where them often.

Wow! That sounds like a lot of rules for wearing pearls, but all of those things are easily unavoidable if you know the right precautions to take when dealing with pearl designer jewelry. In lieu of those bad things, let's talk about the right way to handle your pearls. After you wear them, wipe them off with a soft cloth that is slightly damp. After washing, lay the jewelry flat on a soft towel to dry. Store them carefully and without touching other pieces of designer jewelry. When in doubt, bring them to your local jeweler and they can use their expertise to clean your pearls.
