After every wear, gently clean pearl jewelery with a damp, soft cloth. Abrasive cleaners and vigorous rubbing can wear away the shiny nacre coating. Allow to dry before storage. If pearls are dirty, clean with a mild soap and water solution, never with ammonia or detergent solutions. Avoid contact with makeup, perfume, and creams, which can remove the luster of the pearls. To store keep away from other jewelry in a lined box or cloth pouch, like what you are doing with your watches, to avoid scratches. Water can stretch the thread of pearl necklace, so have the jewelry restrung regularly to ensure the cord won’t break.
