Pearls - CARING FOR YOUR PEARLS
Proper care of your pearls will ensure longevity and a lasting beauty.

Cleaning
Never use abrasives on a pearl. Harsh cleaners can scratch the delicate surface. Use only a wet soft cloth to clean it, then store properly after it dries.

Storing
Pearls get brittle when they are dehydrated. Never store pearls near heaters, keep them out of direct sunlight, and away from other jewelry to keep from scratching the nacre finish.

Wearing
Never apply make-up, perfume, aerosols or skin care products while wearing your pearls. Wait until all beauty aids are dry. Remove your pearls before swimming or bathing, and your ring before washing your hands. Water will damage the string and dull the luster of your pearl.

Stringing
It is recommended that you have your pearl necklace restrung occasionally to prevent string breakage. How often you restring your pearls depends on the frequency of use. Pearls purchased from Schalla Jeweler are restrung annually for 5 years at no additional charge.
