Caring for Your Pearls

To keep your pearls looking their best, it's important to care for them properly. Here are a few of our top tips.

• Avoid Chemicals: Pearls are sensitive to chemicals found in perfumes, hairsprays, and cleaning products. Always put on your pearls after applying makeup and perfume.

• Clean Gently: Wipe your pearls with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove any oils or dirt. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth.

• Store Properly: Store your pearls in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratches and damage. Avoid storing them with other jewellery pieces that might scratch their surface.

Pearls are incredibly versatile and can be effortlessly styled with other jewellery to create a chic, layered look. Pair pearl necklaces with varying lengths of gold or silver chains to add depth and dimension to your ensemble. Mix and match pearl studs with delicate hoop earrings or stack pearl bracelets alongside bangles for a modern twist on a classic style. The subtle elegance of pearls makes them a perfect complement to any jewellery piece, allowing you to personalise your look and transition seamlessly from day to night.
