How to Care for Your Pearls: A Complete Guide to Long-Lasting Shine

Pearls are more than just jewelry they’re living gems that carry elegance, history, and timeless charm. Whether you wear them as studs, necklaces, or in a rare pearl tennis bracelet, pearls require a little extra love to maintain their natural glow. At FLAWNT™, we bring you natural freshwater pearl jewelry that deserves care as unique as its story.

Here’s your ultimate guide to keeping your pearls radiant for years to come.

Rule #1: Pearls Love to Be Worn

Unlike other gems, pearls benefit from your skin’s natural oils, which keep them hydrated and lustrous. Don’t keep them locked away, flaunt them!

Rule #2: Last On, First Off

Pearls are delicate, so always wear them after applying makeup, perfume, or hairspray. Chemicals can dull their shine. When the day ends, take your pearls off first before removing other jewelry.

Rule #3: Gentle Cleaning Only

• Use a soft, damp cloth after every wear.

• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh detergents.

• For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and lukewarm water.

Rule #4: Store with Care

• Store pearls in a soft pouch or separate section of your jewelry box.

• Never mix with harder gems or metals—they can scratch the surface.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and excessive dryness.

Rule #5: Regular Restringing

For necklaces or bracelets, restringing every 1–2 years keeps your pearls secure and prevents breakage. Opt for silk thread with knots between each pearl for durability and elegance.
