LAST THING ON, FIRST THING OFF
Pearls are very vulnerable to extreme humidity, acid, as well as alkaline. It is best to keep your pearl jewellery away from cosmetics, hair sprays or perfumes that would degrade their lustre and shine. Therefore, you should always put on your pearl jewellery as a final touch when getting dressed. It is also advisable to remove your pearls jewellery before exercising as the pearl’s lustre can be harmed by perspiration.
STORAGE AND TRAVEL CARE
As previously mentioned, although pearls are relatively resistant to breaking, they can be scratched by sharp objects or other gemstones. To prevent this, store them in their own jewellery box and put them in a jewellery pouch when you have to travel with them.
CLEANING AND POLISHING
The best thing to do if you see that your jewellery isn’t as radiant anymore, or it seems to be diminishing, is to take it to a specialist at one of our Matara Studio stores. Other than that, always use a soft cloth when cleaning your pearl jewellery, and don’t apply too much pressure when polishing and cleaning as you could risk removing the nacre layer.
WEAR AND ENJOY THEM
Pearls need moisture, leaving them in a box for long periods of time can cause them to crack. There is a saying that comes with pearls and that is, “pearls want to be worn,” so enjoy them.
At Matara, we know that even the finest jewelries can sometimes break. Your precious Matara Jewelry deserves to be fixed, not tossed away.
