Although pearls are beautiful, they are also delicate. If not cared for, they will gradually lose their luster. Today, the editor will talk to you about the knowledge of cleaning and maintaining pearl jewelry.
① Stay away from the kitchen
Pearls have tiny pores on their surface, so it is not advisable to let them inhale pollutants from the air. Pearl will absorb hair spray, perfume and other substances. So don’t wear beautiful pearls to use electricity, and be careful in the kitchen as well. Do not wear beautiful pearls when cooking, as steam and oil fumes can seep into the pearls, causing them to turn yellow.
② Sheepskin service
After wearing pearls (especially on hot days), they must be wiped clean before being put away. It is best to use sheepskin instead of tissue paper, as the friction of some tissue paper can wear down pearls.
③ Not close to clear water
Do not clean the pearl necklace with water. Water can enter the small holes of the bead, which is not only difficult to dry, but may also cause fermentation inside, and the bead line may turn green. If you sweat a lot while wearing it, you can carefully wipe it off with a soft damp towel, air dry it, and store it.
④ We need air
Although pearls are beautiful, they are also delicate. Do you know the knowledge of pearl jewelry cleaning and maintenance?
Do not keep pearls in a safe for a long time, and do not seal them with plastic bags. Pearls require fresh air and need to be taken out and worn every few months to allow them to breathe. If pearls are left in the box for a long time, they are prone to turning yellow. (That’s what you mean when you’re old and yellow.)
⑤ Pearl Chain Maintenance
Don’t hang the bead chain for a long time, as the chain line will also deform over time. It’s a good idea to tie a knot between each bead with a long bead chain. This method can prevent friction between beads. Even if the thread breaks, you can guarantee that the beads will not scatter everywhere, and you will only lose one bead at most.
⑥ Change lines within 3 years
It is best to string pearls again every 3 years, depending on the number of times they are worn. The dirt entering the small hole of the bead will generate friction, causing the nylon thread to break, and the broken position will be subjected to force close to the button.
There are many ways to maintain pearls, so I won’t introduce them one by one. However, I still want to remind everyone that pearls are not only afraid of stuffiness, but also afraid of exposure to the sun.
