Storing Your Pearls |
 |
Pearls are formed from an organic, soft material called nacre. Avoid letting them come into contact with anything that other organic materials might be sensitive to.
Store your pearls away from hard gemstones and metals, and avoid letting them come into regular contact with chemicals such as perfumes, hair products and cosmetics, or allowing them to be exposed for long periods to harsh light or heat.
Pearls need moisture and air, so avoid placing them in plastic zip bags, safes or deposit boxes. The silk threads that pearls are strung on are also organic and can stretch, so lay your pearls flat rather than hanging them. Your best option for storage is a soft, silky cloth pouch, useful for both travelling and home storage.
