How To Care For Your Pearls
Mikimoto Pearls are the most beautiful pearls in the universe and owning them is enough to make any woman feel a sense of pride and status. Every pearl is different, like a fingerprint. Most pearls take years forming and perfecting and every pearl should be treated meticulously. Read on and learn about the correct way to handle them. First, you have to understand that pearls eventually lose their luster or change their color when dust or sweat adhere to them often. To avoid this, you should use a dry and very soft cloth like silicon and brush them softly on a regular basis.
Pearls are the only organic gem and need to be treated a lot differently than other pieces of Jewelry. Pearls are very senstive to UV rays and also artificial substances such as hairspray or perfume. Pearls should be wiped down every one or two days
Lastly, always remember that these precious gems took years to create in a natural environment and therefore are very susceptible to lotions, creams, and other normal day substances. When they come in contact with other acidic substances such as fruit juices, vinegar, or detergents, you must wipe the substance off immediately using a gauze pad. Needless to say, you must not wear your pearls while bathing in the shower or swimming in the beach.
When it comes to storing your Mikimoto pearls, you have to put them in a jewelry box and should provide them with a separate compartment. They must not be in contact with other pieces of jewelry because aside from being scratched, your other accessories may have some substances adhered to them that may affect the quality of your pearls.
If you have Mikimoto necklace, there is an additional routine that you have to observe in maintaining it. The pearls on this jewelry are strung on silk strings, which, absorb humidity and sweat, as well as protect your the pearls. However, the silk strings may also suddenly breakoff especially when expanded or loosened. When you notice that a space is already created between pearls when you unclasp and control the fitting by one hand, this means that the string has already outstretched and needs replacing. In fact, it is recommended that even when you don’t wear the jewelry often, you must have the string altered yearly.
