Simple cleaning and storage will ensure that your pearls keep their lustrous beauty for years to come.<\/p>\n

You should avoid having your pearls come in to contact with perfume, hairspray, cosmetics and household cleaning agents as they contain alcohol, acids and harsh chemicals that are harmful to the pearl\u2019s lustre and surface.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.1)” _builder_version=”4.4.6″ width=”71%” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”50px||||false|false”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.5.6″ custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.4.6″ width=”90%” max_width=”100%” custom_css_main_element=”margin: auto;”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.6″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/autorepearls.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/caring-for-pearl-1.jpg” title_text=”caring-for-pearl-1″ _builder_version=”4.5.6″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.6″ custom_padding=”|30px||30px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ text_font_size=”18px”]Perspiration and dirt may also harm pearls, Autore recommends you gently wipe pearls with a slight damp (not wet) cloth after you wear them.<\/p>\n

Pearls are strung on pure silk with a knot between each pearl (knotting between pearls ensures that if the strand breaks you only risk losing a single pearl). Silk string weakens and stretches over time and we recommend you have your pearls restrung professionally once a year.<\/p>\n

It is advised that you avoid dipping your pearls in water or wear them whilst bathing or swimming as the water weakens the silk thread.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.4.6″ width=”90%” max_width=”100%” custom_css_main_element=”margin: auto;”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.4.6″ custom_padding=”|30px||30px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element=”margin:auto”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ text_font_size=”18px” hover_enabled=”0″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_padding_tablet=”||25px||false|false”]Perspiration and dirt may also harm pearls, Autore recommends you gently wipe pearls with a slight damp (not wet) cloth after you wear them.<\/p>\n

Prolonged exposure to direct heat or sunshine may discolour and even dry pearls.
\nYou can use a very mild soap to remove make-up or dirt from pearls however avoid using brushes or other abrasive materials which may scratch the pearl\u2019s surface. Ultrasonic cleaning is not safe for pearls and we advise against this method.<\/p>\n

Cleaning by a professional jeweller guarantees that your pearls are not at risk of being damaged by chemicals or harsh soaps.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.6″ custom_padding=”0px||||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.6″][et_pb_divider color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.1)” _builder_version=”4.4.6″ width=”71%” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”50px||||false|false”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.6″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.6″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.5.6″ header_2_font_size=”55px” custom_margin=”||17px|||” custom_padding=”||18px||false|false”]<\/p>\n
