JUST IN TIME FOR MOTHER'S DAY
110 LOOSE LIME GREEN FRESH WATER PEARLS 4-5mm (fully drilled)
PLEASE NOTE PICTURE ONLY TO SHOW COLOUR NOT ACTUAL PICTURE OF PEARLS
The rich LIME GREEN of these lusterous fresh water pearls are absolutely beautiful . The pearls are aproximately between 4-5mm, drilled and ready to be turned into stunning jewelery. The photo does no justice to the colour of these pearls and it features a natural "love band" (natural ring that formed around the pearl).
Because of their delicate nature, special care must be taken when cleaning your pearls. Only use jewelery cleansers labeled as safe for pearls. Never use an ultrasonic cleaner and never steam-clean pearls. Never use (or expose pearls) to dish or wash detergents, bleaches, powdered cleansers, baking soda, or ammonia-based cleansers like handy cleaning creams for general purposes. Never use toothbrushes, scouring pads or abrasive materials to clean pearls. Do not wear pearls when the string is wet. Wet strings stretch and attract dirt, which is hard to remove. Do not hang pearls to dry.
Being an organic gem, grooves, pits or dents are expected. Very common are the natural lines which form around the pearl. These are known as "love lines". Even in strands of jewellery you can have unique pearls that don't match and are beautiful pieces in their own right.
Take your pearls off when applying cosmetics, hair spray, and perfume, or when showering or swimming. Avoid wearing pearls with rough fabrics like Shetland wool. Have your pearls restrung once a year if you wear them often. After you wear pearls, just wipe them off with a soft cloth or chamois, which may be dry or damp. This will prevent dirt from accumulating and keep perspiration, which is slightly acidic, from eating away at the pearl nacre. You can even use a drop of olive oil on the cloth to help maintain their luster.
If pearls have not been kept clean and are very dirty, they can be cleaned by your jeweler, or they can be cleansed using special pearl cleaner. Use pearl-safe labeled jewelry cleaner! Be careful using other types of jewelry cleaner or soap. Some liquid soaps can damage pearls. Pay attention to the areas around the drill holes where dirt may tend to collect. After washing your pearls, lay them flat in a moist kitchen towel to dry. When the towel is dry, your pearls should be dry.
About every six months have a professional jeweler verify that the pearls on your jewelery are securely mounted or that the string is still good. Many jewelers will do this free of charge, and they'll be happy to answer your questions about the care of your jewelry.
