| With special attention and care, your pearls
will last a lifetime. Keep them away from household chemicals
such as hair spray, makeup, and perfume which can dull
their luster over time and cause spots and blotches. To
avoid the effects of cosmetics and perfume, pearls should
be the last thing a woman puts on before going out and
the first thing she takes off after returning home. Also,
pearls are quite soft, so for the longest-lasting pearls
choose those with thick nacre that can help them withstand
wear over time. |
