Freshwater Pearl Rings
Frequently Asked Question
-
Is it ok to wear a Pearl Ring everyday?
Unfortunately, Freshwater Pearl isn’t the most durable gemstone out there. It strikes a below par hardness rating of 2.5 out of 10 on the Mohs Scale, making it more prone to accidental damages and chipping. So if you save it for special occasions, nothing like it. But if you’re planning to wear it everyday, that also shouldn’t be a point of much worry as long as you’re religiously abiding by all the professionally prescribed care and maintenance tips to keep it from potential risks.

How do I take care of a Freshwater Pearl Ring?
To preserve the beauty of Freshwater Pearl Ring forever, we recommend you to swear by the following care and maintenance tips:
To eliminate the build-up of oil, dirt, and grime from the surface every once in a while, make it a ritual to gently clean your Freshwater Pearl Ring with a soft, damp cloth.
Chemicals are the worst enemy of your Pearls. In order to minimize their exposure with your gemstone, make sure to slip on your ring only once you have applied your hairspray, perfume, makeup, and other chemical loaded products.
To no surprise, Pearl is a relatively softer gemstone that is exposed to the risk of being scratched by harder gemstone(s). To avoid such a scenario, consider storing it separately (preferably in a soft lined jewelry box).
Don’t forget to take it off before indulging in physical activities like cooking, exercising, washing dishes, cleaning, swimming, etc., to keep it from any accidental damages.
To preserve their luster, Pearls require moisture. So, don’t make the mistake of storing it in airtight container or safe deposit box or wearing it in a heated room.

How do I choose the right Freshwater Pearl Ring?

What to avoid when wearing Pearls?
Take off your Pearls before you hop in the shower, while sleeping or indulging in strenuous physical activities like swimming, gardening, cooking, washing dishes, etc. That would keep accidental mishaps and potential damages at bay.
Harmful chemicals, acids, and alkaline solutions can cause your Pearl to appear dull or worse, even crack. So, make sure to put on your makeup, hairsprays, etc., after slipping on your ring.
Humidity can soak out the moisture out of Pearls, which in turn can cause it to lose its luster. So, make sure to avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures.
Given their soft nature, cleaning them with abrasive chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners is the last thing you want to do.
