What is Beautiful Stays Beautiful Forever.

Pearls are the only gemstone for which care is essential. Unlike other mineral-based jewelry, pearls are made by living organisms.

Each microscopic calcium crystal, visible only with an electron microscope, is encased in a thin sheet of protein, and hundreds of billions of these crystals come together to form a single pearl.

This delicate and special structure is what gives them their unique color and brilliance.

Because of their delicateness, daily care is essential. It is not a difficult task, and simple care will keep their beauty for a long time.

Two Reasons Why Pearl Cleaning & Esthétique is Necessary

Reason #1

Most pearl ornaments are in direct contact with the skin, just like clothing.

Just as clothing must be washed and cleaned, so must pearls. This is because both types of stains are caused by skin secretions.

In addition, pearls are often worn at weddings and funerals, so the dirt on their luster attracts even more public attention.

Reason #2

Pearls are the only gemstones produced by living creatures in the course of their living activities.

Therefore, their structure and composition are as delicate as human skin.

This delicateness is what gives pearls their unique brilliance, and in order to maintain their beauty, pearls require unique cleaning and esthetic techniques, just like caring for your skin.

Two Methods of Pearl Cleaning & Esthétique Treatment

Daily Care

As with skin care, it is necessary to care for pearls on a daily basis.

In this case, care means

Always wipe them with a cloth before putting them away after use.
In principle, pearl cleaning and esthetic treatments are based on scientifically proven care and storage methods, such as storing pearls in humidity-controlled containers.

Daily Care Instructions

Pearls are natural gems given by the sea. That is why they are delicate and vulnerable.

But as long as they are well cared for, it is possible to maintain their beauty semi-permanently.

Four Measures

Quickly wipe off any perspiration, skin secretions, cosmetics, etc. from the pearls
Avoid extreme dryness and humidity.
Avoid prolonged exposure to light and heat.
Avoid direct contact with hard objects such as precious metals and gemstones.

Wipe after Each Contact to Maintain its Beauty!

Wiping is one of the most important aspects of care. Of course, it is necessary to wipe the pearls after use and then put them away, but to put it briefly, it is necessary to have enough delicacy to wipe them if it comes into contact with your hands, even if only a little.

Our skin secretions, such as perspiration and hand sebum, are acidic. The calcium carbonate on the surface of pearls is vulnerable to acidity, so if this condition is repeated, it will gradually dissolve and form unevenness.

This causes dimming and the beautiful TERI, the brightness and the color of light interference on a pearl, is lost. Therefore, the cloth used to wipe pearls must have excellent water absorbency and oil absorbency.

The Pearl Cloth Series, researched and developed by the Pearl science laboratory, uses ultra-fine fibers (microfiber) and is the best for cleaning pearls. Please use them to maintain their beauty.

Discoloration in Wardrobe

“I haven’t worn my beautiful pearls in a long time, but they seem to be less bright than before…”

“Even though I haven’t worn them that much…”

Pearls are, in a sense, “living gems.”

Unlike diamonds, rubies, and other mineral-based gemstones, pearls are gemstones of biological resources.

They are vulnerable to changes in light, heat, and humidity, so care must be taken when storing them.

The key points of storage are

The location must be free from oil and changes in humidity.
Pearls must be kept at a constant appropriate humidity level.
Pearls must be sealed in a dark place.

It is also important to note that pearls may be scratched if they are with other hard gemstones, or rust may adhere if they are stored with metals.

Storing pearls in “Pearl Keeper,” a jewelry case researched and developed by the Pearl science laboratory, will protect your precious pearls from these uncertainties semi-permanently.
