How do I care for pearl beads?

Caring for Your Pearl Beads

Once you create a design with pearl beads, you should know how to care for your precious gems. Chemicals and even body oils can eventually damage your pearls. Try to apply hair sprays and makeup before you don your pearl jewelry. After you wear them, wipe the jewels with a soft damp cloth to remove any residue. Every so often, it's a good idea to clean your pearls with a soft cloth and a mild soap. Don't use harsh cleansers on your pearls! Store them away from other jewelry in a soft bag or pouch and your pearl beads will last for years!
