The timeless beauty of pearls – how to care for them

Pearls have fascinated people for thousands of years. Their natural glow, elegant expression and unique origin have made them one of the most prized gemstones in the world. Whether you wear a classic pearl necklace, a modern pearl bracelet or small earrings, pearls always add a touch of luxury and timeless elegance.

How are pearls formed?

Pearls are created through a remarkable natural process. When a small foreign object – like a grain of sand – finds its way into an oyster or clam, the shell begins to protect itself by producing layers of nacre around the irritant. After several years, a perfect, lustrous pearl is formed – a small miracle created by nature itself.

How to best care for your pearls:

Avoid chemicals: Do not let your pearls come into contact with perfume, hairspray, makeup or harsh cleaning agents. Always apply perfume and cosmetics before wearing your pearls.

Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth and wipe gently after use. Avoid submerging beads in water or using soap.

Storage: Store the pearls separately from other jewelry, preferably in a soft bag or a separate compartment in the jewelry box, so that they do not get scratched.

Avoid sleeping with pearls : The pearl thread of pearl jewelry wears out over time and should be checked regularly. Therefore, avoid sleeping with pearl jewelry, as it can cause unnecessary wear on the thread.
