Care & Maintenance
Preserve the natural radiance of your jewellery with these essential maintenance steps.
01
Last On, First Off
Pearls should be the last thing you put on after applying perfume or hairspray, and the first thing you remove at night to avoid chemical exposure.
02
Gently Wipe After Wear
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and perspiration after each use. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the delicate nacre.
03
Store Separately
Keep your pearl pieces in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in your jewellery box to prevent harder gemstones from scratching them.
04
Avoid Moisture
Never soak your pearls in water or wear them while swimming. Excess moisture can weaken the silk thread or damage the pearl's surface.

The Complete Pearl Care Guide
As organic gemstones, pearls are vulnerable to acids, humidity, and alkaline. Following these guidelines ensures your PearlwinterStudio pieces remain radiant for decades.
Chemical Safety
Never use ultrasonic cleaners, steam, or chemicals. Clean only with a damp, soft cloth.
Restringing
If you wear your pearls frequently, we recommend restringing them every 1-2 years to prevent thread breakage.
Wear Frequency
Pearls actually benefit from the moisture in your skin. Wearing them often helps maintain their natural glow.
