Pearl Necklaces

When cared for properly, natural pearls can look equally as stunning decades from now as they do today. It’s important not to swim or shower in your natural pearl necklace, and avoid chemicals and accidental knocks against other objects.

Yes, natural pearls grow in the wild and are considered rare. Cultured pearls are those grown in pearl farms with the assistance of an expert.

Clean your natural pearl necklace gently after each wear using a soft cloth to remove oils and dirt. For deeper cleaning, do so every few months or as needed, using a mild soap solution and avoiding harsh chemicals. If the radiance of the pearls seems to be diminishing, take it to a specialist (like your local James Free Jeweler) to clean it—pearls should never go in an ultrasonic cleaner.
