How to Care for Your Tahitian Pearl Jewellery for a Lifetime?

Usage Precautions

• Avoid chemicals: Pearls are sensitive to acids, alkalis, and excessive moisture. Avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, hair sprays, and household products.
• Remove your jewellery during certain activities: Take off your pearl jewellery before showering, swimming (especially in pools due to chlorine), or participating in sports.
• Avoid excessive heat: Do not leave your pearls exposed to intense heat sources or direct sunlight for long periods.

Cleaning Pearls

• Regular cleaning: After each wear, wipe your pearls with a soft, damp cloth to remove sweat or cosmetic residues.
• Deep cleaning: Use warm water with mild soap to clean your pearls. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. You can also use specific products for cultured pearls, like the one Poemotu offers under its own brand and provides with your purchase of a pearl jewellery*; two or three times a year, this natural solution restores shine to all cultured pearls.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners: Never use harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or hard brushes on your pearls.

Storing Pearl Jewellery

• Individual storage: Store your pearl jewellery separately from other jewellery to avoid scratches. Use soft fabric pouches or individual compartments in your jewellery box.

Controlled humidity: Pearls require a certain level of humidity to maintain their lustre. Avoid storing them in overly dry or excessively humid environments.

Regular wear: Wearing your pearls regularly helps maintain their natural lustre through the moisture from your skin.
