Care Guide: Caring for Silver 925 Jewelry with Pearl and Mother of Pearl

Pearl

Taking care of silver 925 jewelry with pearls requires a gentle approach to ensure their longevity. Here is a guide on how to care for your silver 925 jewelry with pearls:

  • Keep it separate: Store your silver 925 jewelry with pearls separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches. Ideally, use a soft pouch or a jewelry box like the one that we provide when you purchase from our store.
  • Avoid exposure: Pearls are delicate and can be damaged by exposure to harsh chemicals, sunlight, and heat. Keep your jewelry away from household chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and hairsprays. Also, avoid wearing them in swimming pools or hot tubs. Pearls are sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity.
  • Be careful not to expose your Pearl Silver jewels to cosmetics or beauty products.
  • Clean gently: To clean your silver 925 jewelry with pearls, use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away any dirt or oils. Avoid using hard surface materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the pearls or tarnish the silver. You can follow also our general guide.
  • Avoid water: It's best to avoid immersing your silver 925 jewelry with pearls in water. If necessary, you can dampen a soft cloth with mild soapy water and carefully clean the pearls. Rinse the cloth with clean water and wipe the pearls again to remove any soapy residue. Make sure to dry the jewelry thoroughly before storing it.
  • Handle with care: When wearing or removing your jewelry, handle it with care to prevent tugging or pulling on the pearls. Avoid using excessive force or twisting motions that may damage the silver or cause stress on the pearl settings.

Mother of Pearl

While many of the care instructions for pearls also apply to Mother of Pearl, there are some differences in their composition and maintenance. Mother of Pearl is the iridescent inner layer of certain mollusk shells, whereas pearls are formed within the mollusk's soft tissue.

  • Separate and store: Store your jewelry with mother of pearl separately from other jewelry pieces to prevent scratches. Ideally, use a soft pouch or a jewelry box like the one that we provide.
  • Avoid water exposure: Mother of Pearl is porous and can absorb water, leading to potential cracking or warping. Avoid wearing jewelry with mother of pearl when bathing, swimming, or doing household chores involving water.
  • Gentle cleaning: Clean Mother of Pearl with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or brushes that can damage the delicate surface. Gently wipe away dirt and oils, and dry the jewelry thoroughly.
  • Minimize exposure to chemicals: The Mother of Pearl is sensitive to chemicals, so it's important to keep it away from substances like perfume, hairspray, cosmetics, and household cleaners. Chemicals can dull the luster and harm the surface of the Mother of Pearl.
  • Protect from extreme temperatures: Mother of Pearl can be sensitive to extreme temperatures, causing it to expand or contract. Avoid exposing jewelry with Mother of Pearl to direct sunlight, high heat, or extreme cold for prolonged periods.
  • Handle with care: When wearing or removing jewelry with Mother of Pearl, handle it with care to prevent accidental dropping or knocking against hard surfaces. Avoid using excessive force or twisting motions that may damage the setting or the Mother of Pearl.

Remember, proper care and storage are essential to maintain the beauty and durability of your Silver 925 jewelry with Pearls and Mother of Pearl. By following these guidelines, you can enjoy your jewelry for years to come.
