How to store Tahitian pearls?

If you are interrested in knowing how to store your tahitian pearl properly, here is a useful list fo do's and don'ts

The Dos and Don'ts of Tahitian Pearl Storage:

• Do store them separately: Pearls are delicate and can be easily scratched by harder gemstones or even other pearls. Store them in individual soft pouches or compartments within a jewelry box lined with soft fabric.
• DO wipe your pearls after each wear:  perfumes, and cosmetics can dull the luster of your pearls. Gently wipe them with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove any residue.
• DO keep your pearls away from extreme temperatures and humidity: Excessive heat and dryness can cause pearls to dehydrate and crack. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight, near heating vents, or in excessively dry environments. Similarly, high humidity can damage the silk thread used in pearl necklaces.
• DO have your pearls restrung periodically: The silk thread used to string pearls can stretch and weaken over time. Having your pearls restrung every 2-4 years, or as needed, will prevent breakage and loss.
• DON'T store your pearls in a plastic bag: Plastic can emit chemicals that can damage the pearl's surface over time.
• DON'T store your pearls with other jewelry: The hardness of other gemstones may scratch your pearls. Always store them separately.
• DON'T expose your pearls to harsh chemicals: Avoid contact with household cleaners, perfumes, hairspray, and other chemicals that can damage the nacre.
• DON'T hang your pearl necklaces for extended periods: This can stretch the silk thread and weaken the strand.

The Ideal Storage Environment:

The best place to store your Tahitian pearls is in a fabric-lined jewelry box or a soft pouch kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Adding a small piece of chalk or a silica gel packet to the storage container can help absorb excess moisture.
