  Caring for your Tahitian Pearls

Tahitian pearls, because of their nature, need special care and should not be mixed with other gems unless stored in a jewelry pouch. Your black pearl is a soft gem and can be easily damaged if not handled correctly or exposed to heat and chemicals. The following guidelines should help maintain the beauty and luster of your tahitian black pearl.

- Do not use jewelry cleaners, unless specifically labeled as safe for pearls.
- Do not use an ultrasonic cleaner.
- Do not steam clean pearls.
- Do not expose/use detergents, bleaches, Windex type cleaners, or abrasive cleaners on pearls.
- Do not use abrasive materials to clean pearls such as toothbrushes and scouring pads.
- Do not hang strings of pearls to dry.
- Avoid wearing pearls with rough fabrics.
- Do not wear pearls while applying hair spray, cosmetics, perfume or when swimming or showering.

Cleaning

Your tahitian pearls should be wiped with a clean soft cloth, either dry or damp, after every use.  Doing so will help prevent dirt and perspiration from accumulating.  Perspiration is slightly acidic and with prolonged exposure could eat away at the black pearl.

If your pearls are dirty they can be cleaned your jeweler or with a jewelry cleaner that is specifically formulated to be safe for pearls.  Remember to not use regular jewlery cleaners as they will harm your pearls.

After cleaning is complete, just lay your pearls flat inside a damp towel to dry.  Once the towel is dry, your pearls should also be dry.

It is always a good idea to have your jeweler inspect your pearls periodically to ensure secure mountings and that strings are still in good condition.
