Pearl shimmer - it stays that way forever

A pearl's luster is like its fingerprint. It is the unique shimmer that each pearl harbors and that is simply unmistakable. But over time it can happen that this shine fades and the piece of jewelery looks almost dull. This usually happens through external influences such as sweat, care products or sometimes even just through water. So that your pearls always shine wonderfully, we have put together a great care tip for your most precious treasures of the sea. Not only are diamonds forever - your pearls will stay that way too!

# cleaning

Even if pearls are treasures of the sea and thus arise from the sea, to be precise, from a grain of sand, they are not water rats. In fact, they don't like the water at all, and you need to be careful when cleaning them up. It is best to clean them twice a year with a little lukewarm water and a drop mild detergent. Make sure it doesn't contain any chemicals - they'll attack the surface of the pearl. A particularly soft cloth is best for spring cleaning so that there are no scratches.

#2 drying

Before we bring your pearls to a shine again, it is important that they are completely dry. The best way to do this is to let them dry overnight at room temperature. Because even if they appear dry, there is sometimes still a bit of water in tiny cracks that are not even visible to the naked eye. Because the pearl is a natural product and therefore also has a natural surface that can have minimal indentations.

#3 shine

In the last step we bring our treasure of the sea to shine again. It is important to clean the bead beforehand, otherwise the smallest particles can damage the surface. Now a good olive oil comes into play. You put a little bit of it on a super soft cloth and cover the surface of the pearl very carefully. Not too much and not too little, a little practice is required. When a gentle layer is on the pearl, let it rest again overnight and you will be amazed at the old-new shine in which it shines!
