“Pearls are always appropriate”
–Jackie Kennedy
Did you know that pearls are the only gem material formed and found within a living creature? And just like any other living thing, they need to be taken care of too.
According to a lot of myths, pearls are associated with good luck and wealth and are believed to offer protection. In some parts of the world Practitioners use pearls to enhance personal integrity, bring truth forward, grow sincerity, inhibit immodest behavior and advance in wisdom.
Here are a few ways you can start taking care of your pearls.
- Wear them more
Since your body naturally secretes oils throughout the day, pearls benefit tremendously from absorbing these oils since they were initially born in the ocean. So go ahead and don them to show them that you care.
- Let them breathe
Never use a A plastic bag or other airtight container to store pearls. Recall that pearls require moisture. The pearls may fracture if the atmosphere is too dry. If you need to put them in a safe or container for storage, don’t forget to leave a moist towel nearby and retrieve them as soon as you can.
- Things to avoid
If you are a pearl-person, there are quite a lot of things you should avoid doing while you wear them. Keep them away from most of the chemicals including your range of cosmetics and perfumes. Don’t wear them during intense activities, such as gymming or swimming.
Finally, restring your pearls at least once a year or so and knot each pearl individually so they don’t buff off each other’s shine. Now go flaunt your pearls!
