If you have invested in pearl jewelry you will want to keep it looking its best. Pink pearls are a common choice in jewelry today but as they are usually artificially grown on pearl farms they are not always as strong as natural pearls which have grown more slowly and over a longer time. Here are four tips to keep your pink pearl jewelry sets looking as good as new.
Storage
Pearls need to be stored carefully. They can be damaged by your other jewelry scratching them and even by being left in strong sunlight. When you are finished wearing your pearls place them in a safe place on their own and consider wrapping them in cloth to further protect them.
Chemicals
Pearls are easily damaged by common household chemicals so do not wear them while doing your chores. Pearls are also susceptible to damage from your makeup so be careful to keep your jewelry separate from your makeup. Only put on your pearls after you have done your makeup and fixed your hair.
Cleaning
Pearls will pick up dirt and even chemicals from your skin in the course of wearing them so you should wipe them carefully each time you have worn them. Use a soft dry cloth. In the event that there are marks on your pearls you can use a slightly damp cloth or get professional advice on jewelry cleaners. 
Maintain your Pearl Jewelry
Jewelry is to be worn, but it will get worn down from being worn so do check all your jewelry from time to time. If you find any damage or if dirt has built up in the settings, seek professional advice from an experienced jeweler. The strings of pearl necklaces do need to be replaced occasionally so check them carefully for wear.
These four simple steps will help keep pearls looking as good as new. While pearls may be delicate, this is part of their charm. Jewelry is to be worn, so do not be afraid to wear your pearls. Just remember that if you have invested in pearls you need to invest some time in looking after them too.
