Pearls have a timeless elegance that makes them a treasured addition to any jewellery collection. Whether you're wearing a classic pearl necklace or a pair of delicate pearl earrings, a little care will help keep your pearls looking beautiful for years to come.

At Adorn Jewellers, our cultured freshwater pearl collection is one of our most popular and sought after collections. Loved for their natural beauty, soft lustre and versatility, cultured freshwater pearls are a wonderful choice for both classic everyday wear and special occasions.

Pearls Are Organic Gems

Unlike diamonds and other gemstones, pearls are organic and relatively soft. This means they can be affected by perfumes, hairsprays, cosmetics, and household chemicals. As a simple rule, pearls should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.

Keep Them Clean

After wearing your pearls, gently wipe them with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any traces of skin oils, makeup, or perfume. This quick habit helps preserve their natural shine and beautiful lustre.

Store with Care

Pearls should be stored separately from other jewellery to prevent scratches. A soft pouch or lined jewellery box is ideal. Avoid airtight containers, as pearls benefit from a little moisture in the air to help prevent them from drying out.

Wear Them Often

Believe it or not, pearls enjoy being worn! The natural oils from your skin can help maintain their lustrous appearance, making regular wear one of the best ways to enjoy and care for your pearls.  Pop them on to cheer you up on a rainy afternoon or just whilst you vacuum, who says glamour has to be seen to be appreciated?!

With just a little attention, your cultured freshwater pearls will remain a cherished part of your jewellery collection for many years to come. If you would like advice on choosing the perfect pearl jewellery, Adam and I are always happy to help.
