Care and Cleaning
Pearls are one of the few organic gemstones used in jewellery. Tahitian  pearls come from the mollusk Pinctada Margaritifera. 
Tahitians are unique amongst pearls as their array of dark and vivid  colours occurs naturally and do not require treatments to enhance them. 
 
Today, pearls are cultured in mollusks on farms rather than caught in the wild like they were in the past. The term 'natural pearl' refers to pearls that have been produced by a mollusk without human intervention, whereas 'cultured pearls' are produced with the help of humans. 
 
Pearls are delicate gems, they can scratch easily so care should always be taken when wearing and storing your pearl jewellery.
We do not recommend that pearl jewellery be worn everyday. 
 
Avoid high temperatures when wearing pearls as exposure to heat can burn cultured pearls, cause discolouration, splitting or cracking and dehydration. 
Most pearls are fixed to posts by an adhesive, rather than held in place by claws, and prolonged exposure to heat can dissolve the adhesive. 
 
You should avoid chemicals when wearing pearls. Hair spray, perfume, make-up, lotions even acidic perspiration can damage the pearl nacre. Always put your pearl jewellery on after applying any of the above products and take your jewellery off before going swimming, doing any kind of cleaning or washing and during exercise. 
 
Pearls should never be ultrasonic or steam cleaned and should never be submerged in gold or silver dips. 
The best way to clean your pearls at home is with warm water and a very soft brush. If your pearls are strung make sure they dry completely before being worn again and avoid getting them wet on a regular basis, use a soft cloth to wipe down your pearls after wear instead of dipping them.
