[Steppes] questions about pearls

[chiara]

I have always been told that wearing pearls as much as possible is best for
them. Their luster will shine brightest when closest to the skin.

Wearing a ring into the shower may over time weaken the glue.

But here is a site that has lots more good information on the care of
pearls. :)

> I am in need of "care and feeding" instructions for pearls.  Over the
years, I have been given a few necklaces with pearls and I've recently come
to very much like one of them but want to take good care of it so that it
will last for many years to come.

> So here we go:
>
> Can I wear the necklace daily without damaging the sheen of the pearls?
>
> Do I need to condition the charm or wash it with a special soap?
>
> Can I wear them in the shower (this is for the ring...)?
>
> How trustworthy is the glue used to attach the pearls to the assorted
charms/ring?
>
> Any help would be appreciated....

> Best Wishes for the holiday season.
