About Pearls
Our consumer guide will help you to understand the intricacies of Pearls when buying them, learn about the different pearls, how to care for your pearls and a little about Pearl history.

Freshwater Pearls are often irregularly shaped which lends character and originality. Our freshwater pearls are all cultured and reveal that magnificent lustre and mystique that give pearls their classic look and why they are so sought after. These freshwater pearl necklaces and earrings are truly timeless. Our cultured freshwater pearls give you that more affordable option for pearl jewellery without sacrificing quality.


Care of Your Pearls

Your pearls are of organic origin with a soft and delicate surface. To maintain their beautiful looks, and to prevent damage, some simple guidelines should be followed.
  • Store your pearls separately, away from other jewellery. A soft cloth bag is ideal.
  • Take care not to damage them against hard or sharp surfaces.
  • After each wearing, wipe your pearls with a damp soft cloth to remove any perspiration and body oils.
  • If you need to wash your pearls use warm soapy water. Use a mild pure soap and never use detergents. Rinse in clear water. Pat dry with a soft clean cloth. Lay out on a towel to dry. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners.
  • Perfumes, skin preparations, hairspray and cosmetics all can be damaging to pearls. Complete your toiletry preparations and then put on your pearls.
  • If you follow these simple steps your pearls could become an heirloom and be treasured for generations.
