Proper care of pearls is not difficult if you remember that they are organic and produced by a living thing. Pearls are soft and delicate, but when cared for with common sense, they will maintain their lustre for centuries. The pearls should not come in contact with cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, chlorinated water, or other harsh chemicals. To keep them clean, let them be the last item put on when dressing, and the first item taken off at the end of an evening. The best way to maintain their lustre is to wear the pearls often, and wipe them down with a soft cloth afterward–pearls absorb the oils from skin, which helps keep them moist. Pearls should be stored in a cloth pouch or jewelry bag, separated from other jewelry to prevent nicks or chipping. Periodically, pearl strands should be restrung since the silk thread used to tie the pearls together breaks down over time.The traditional 14k Peacock Black Freshwater Pearl Necklace is a must-have for your jewelry box. The potato-shaped pearls have good uniformity for an even, consistent look while the high luster provides an elegant sheen. The freshwater-cultured pearls are between 6.5 and 7 millimeters in diameter and are double-knotted on silk for added security. The necklace is secured with a single-strand fishhook that keeps it securely around your neck. The pearl necklace comes with a blue, suede-like soft cloth pouch for easy storage.
