For all items we make, we add
Renaissance Wax to all finished Jewelry, to protect it. Commonly used by
Museums to protect valuable artwork and jewelry.
As with the
most popular Jeweler's Insurance agency, Jeweler's Mutual, we recommend
the same care for most stones and your jewelry. Use warm water, a soft
tooth brush, and a mild dish detergent that do not contain dying or
bleaching agents (Blue Dawn recommended) and then polish up.
For
a more through cleaning take to a qualified jeweler and disclose any
known treatments etc. that your gemstones may have. If you use Tarnish
Removers, try to be careful to not get it on your gemstones. Ultra Sonic
and Steam cleaning are not suggested safe for this gemstone.
Rated
at 2.5-4 on the Moh's Level of Mineral Hardness this gemstone is not
suggested for everyday wear so keep it protected from scratching. This
is very soft so please take care of them. The Setting Should be able to
protect it well.
Keep in a cool dark place when not using. We
recommend not subjecting for extended periods to sunlight, or high
humidity locations as Swimming Pools, Spas, etc. We do not recommend
swimming in public pools with this gemstone on particular in chlorinated
waters; which may include jacuzzi. Ocean or freshwater swimming should
be fine though. Pearls are quite fond of cool A/C in the summer, just
like we humans are and do not like to be subjected to high heat or lots
of sun.
Pearl Facts: These are not plastic pearls or ones that
have problems or potato looking. These are very nice pearls and natural.
The sixteenth century in England better known as the Pearl Age,
indicating that wearing pearls showed prestige and class by those who
wore pearls at that time.
Pearls started becoming more
fashionable in the 1900s and particularly the 1920s following the
manufacturing of Cultured Pearls by Mikimoto in 1893; a Japanese Noodle
maker at the time.
As time progressed larger necklaces, usually
worn in strands were around 60 inches or longer with them shortening up
as time goes on. Getting shorter and shorter. The Roaring 20s as they
call it, was quite popular with people wearing long strands of pearls;
though not as popular in today's age.
Pearls also bring out the
colors in people's eyes as well; such a Blue Necklace or even a pendant;
making colored pearls quite popular yet elegantly stylish. In today's
world you can get any type of color in most pearls now days; you name
the color; if they don't have it, it can be made. This is not to say
that all Colored Pearls are fake. On the contrary, dying a Freshwater
Cultured Pearl is no less natural than one that has not been dyed.
There
are sold natural Golden Ones, normally referred to as Golden South
Seas, but they can run you into the 100s of dollars and even thousands.
And finding acceptable matches at any larger size; is a problem in
itself as the pearl must stay in the oyster for longer periods of time
before it's harvested. Environmental issues, natural, and otherwise,
create extreme problems for natural pearls the longer they remain in the
shell. As such they will be extremely expensive.
