Q How do I Care for Pearls?
A When properly cared for, pearls can last a lifetime. The best way to care for pearls is to wear them often, as the body's natural oils keep pearls lustrous. It's best you keep perfume, makeup, and hairspray away. Chemicals found in these products tend to dull the luster of your beautiful pearls. 
It is highly recommended that you put your pearls on last when getting ready, and make them the first thing you take off when you're back home. Before you store them away, wipe them with a soft cloth and store them separately from your other jewelry to avoid scratching their tender surfaces.
