JEWELRY CARE
CARE FOR PEARLS
Pearls are made
naturally by the oyster or mussel. They will retain its natural colour and
lustre if well maintained. After each wear, use a soft dry cloth to wipe your
pearls as perspiration and body oil from the skin is acidic and may affect the
pearl's lustre. Pearl jewelry may require restringing with regular use and over
time. Pearlylustre customer service: pearlylustre@yahoo.com.
All Jewelry Accessories should be treated with care. Here
are some tips to look after your items to ensure they continue to look good:
Avoid exposure to water, perfume, hairspray, lotion and
chemicals.
Do not wear to sleep, bathe or during sporting activities.
Clean after use with a soft dry cloth.
Keep in the jewelry pouch provided or small plastic bag to
avoid scratches.
Store in a dry area. Avoid hot & humid areas.
Should you notice the
sparkle of the stones is dull or slight tarnish from regular wear, you may wash
with mild hand soap with cold water or use professional jewelry cleaner to
restore to its full sparkle. Use a soft toothbrush to reach the small corners
to clean if need be. Body oil & sweat may cause the plating to tarnish,
depending on the acidity of each individual. High humidity and dampness may
also cause tarnish. We recommend not to wear full time and to remove after wear
and keep in dry area.
Differences Between
Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls
Freshwater pearls are
grown in mussels living in rivers and lakes.
Saltwater pearls are
created by oysters in oceans and originate from places such as Thailand,
Australia, Indonesia ,Tahiti and Philippines.
Akoya pearls are grown
in Japan as well as China and Vietnam, are among the most popular and
high-quality varieties of saltwater pearls, prized for their superior lustre
and nearly ideal round shape.
Freshwater vs Saltwater
Pearls
Lustre
In the past, freshwater
pearls are less lustrous and not as glossy as saltwater pearl.
However, in recent
years, due to the improvements in farming techniques, now freshwater pearls
lustre is comparable to saltwater ones
Shape and Colour
Freshwater pearls come
in a greater variety of shapes(round, oval, etc.) and colors.
Saltwater pearls are
usually are more lustrous and have a rounder shape.
Size
Freshwater pearls used
to be cultivated over shorter periods(less than 2 years) and as a result, they
were smaller in size.
In recent years,
however, many producers started to grow freshwater pearls for a longer
time(three to six years), and the resulting pearls are bigger(8-15mm) ,quality
is comparable to good saltwater pearls.
Price
Freshwater pearls are
cheaper for several reasons.
First freshwater mussels
are larger and can thus produce more pearls at a time than can saltwater
oysters. As a result, freshwater pearls are more abundant.
Saltwater ones are
mostly round and have better lustre-characteristics that are more sought after
and therefore command higher prices.
Finally, our freshwater
pearls that have been cultivated using modern methods, you will find that these
pearls often match the lustre and shape of their saltwater counterparts. But at
a more reasonable price.
