How to care for your pearls
2008-03-15 12:03:00 Pearl is one of the precious jewelry and a very delicate organic gem made of a natural product, calcium carbonate. Thus, it has to be treated in the same way. Pearls also get dusted and dirty unlike the other jewelries, so it is necessary to clean them periodically to prevent them from damaging. The primary rule for caring for your pearl jewelry is accepting the golden rule of wearing it after you finish your grooming. Wear the pearl jewelry after applying your perfumes, hair sprays and make-up. Never spray the perfume on the neck area or apply powder by wearing the pearls. Also it is better to avoid touching the pearls after you have just applied your lotions or creams. Make it a habit to remove the pearls before cleaning your face and neck with cleansers or face wash.

Never keep the pearls lying on your dressing... |
