Jaubalet Care: Black Tahiti Pearl

Because pearls are the only natural gem, they are more fragile than other jewels used in jewelry. To clean your pearls, never use ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners, or even the softest of brushes. Simply soak your pearls in water and wipe them dry with a lint-free towel to keep them clean. The polishing cloth that came with your Tahia Exquisite Tahitian Pearls is specifically intended to maintain your pearls in pristine condition. After applying make-up and arranging your hair, put on your pearl jewelry as the finishing touch. Because pearls are inherently absorbent, the chemicals and acids in hairsprays, cosmetics, and fragrances can damage their shine. Before putting your pearls away, carefully wash them clean with a lint-free towel after each use. A pearl's glossy surface is softer than that of other gemstones, and it can be damaged by jewelry made of stronger metals or gemstones. Pearls should be kept away from other jewelry in a soft purse, lined box, or drawer.
