Follow our expert tips to cherish and preserve your [**Tahitian pearl**](https://www.poemotu.com/perles-de-tahiti/fr/). **Hydration: Key to Lasting Beauty** Tahitian pearls thrive in the humidity of their natural environment. To maintain their hydration, the simplest and most effective method is to wear them regularly. Contact with the skin allows the pearl to capture the moisture needed to preserve its shine. **Daily Precautions** Though possessing a respectable hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale, **[Tahitian pearls](https://www.poemotu.com/perles-de-tahiti/fr/)** are not immune to scratches. If you choose to wear a pendant, ensure it is not layered with other jewellery that might compromise its integrity. Coexisting with other pieces can lead to unwanted scratches. **Sensitivity to pH and Chemicals** The **nacre** of pearls, though resilient, can be sensitive to pH variations, especially acidic ones. Certain skin types, with a more acidic pH, can gradually affect the [**pearl's shine**](https://www.poemotu.com/perles-de-tahiti/fr/). A gentle rinse after wearing is recommended to neutralise this interaction. Additionally, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, such as pool chlorine, which can dull their surface. Conversely, Tahitian pearls thrive in the salty sea water and fresh river water, where they draw vitality and energy. **Care and Cleaning** For cleaning your Tahitian pearl, opt for a gentle approach.

A **rejuvenating bath** enriched with trace elements can also provide a quick and brilliant shine. **Storage: A Case for Protection** When not worn, your Tahitian pearl deserves a case fitting its worth.
