How to clean your pearl jewellery
Cleaning your pearls helps maintain their natural shine and keeps them looking fresh and beautiful for years to come. Because pearls are delicate, it’s important to clean them gently to protect their soft, lustrous surface and avoid damaging them. For more information and advice, discover our Jewellery Aftercare Guide.
Wipe after wear: Gently clean pearls with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use to remove oils and dust.
Clean gently: Use mild soap and lukewarm water with a soft cloth, and never soak pearls.
Avoid harsh products: Skip ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and strong chemicals; they can damage the gemstone.
Last on, first off: Put pearls on after applying makeup, perfume, and hairspray to protect their surface.
Store safely: Keep pearl jewellery flat in a soft pouch or cloth-lined box, such as their original box, and separate from other jewellery.
