Pearl Care Made Simple: Keep the Luster, Lose the Worry

by Cornucopia NG on September 06, 2025

Pearls have long been a symbol of elegance and timeless beauty. From boardroom meetings to evening dinners, a well-styled pearl necklace can elevate any look with effortless sophistication. But unlike other gemstones, pearls require a little extra care to maintain their signature glow.

The good news? With just a few simple habits, you can keep your pearls radiant for years to come.


1. Wipe After Every Wear

Pearls are organic gems, which means they’re more delicate than most stones. Natural oils from your skin, as well as traces of makeup or perfume, can dull their luster over time.

Quick Tip: After wearing your pearls, gently wipe them down with a soft, lint-free cloth. This small step goes a long way in preserving their natural shine.

2. Last On, First Off

Think of pearls as the finishing touch to your outfit. Always put them on last — after your skincare, makeup, hairspray, or perfume. And when the day is done, make them the first thing you take off.

This simple “last-on, first-off” rule prevents pearls from coming into contact with chemicals that can damage their surface.

3. Store in a Soft Pouch

Pearls should never be tossed into a jewelry box with harder gemstones or metals, which can scratch them.

Quick Tip: Keep your pearls safe in a soft jewelry pouch or a fabric-lined box. This is especially helpful if you travel often and want to keep them secure without losing their shine.

4. Avoid Acids and Harsh Cleaners

Household cleaners, chlorine, vinegar, or even lemon juice can harm pearls. Never soak them in strong cleaning solutions. Instead, stick to gentle wiping and let professionals handle deep cleans if needed.

5. Pair Pearls with Pendants for Modern Style

Pearls are timeless, but that doesn’t mean they have to feel old-fashioned. Mixing pearls with modern pendants is one of the easiest ways to refresh your look.

For instance, the Coco Pearl Necklace offers a fresh take on classic pearl elegance, blending natural textures with contemporary design. Pairing it with sleek pieces from our Pendant Necklaces Collection adds contrast and creates a layered, modern statement.


Final Thoughts

Caring for your pearls doesn’t have to be complicated. By following these quick tips — wipe after wear, last-on/first-off, store safely, and avoid harsh chemicals — your pearls will remain as radiant as the day you first wore them.

And when you’re ready to bring your pearl styling into the modern era, consider pairing them with one of our versatile pendants for a chic, everyday look.
