Pearls are among the most delicate gems, requiring special care to maintain their luminous beauty. At Estincele, we recommend these professional storage techniques to protect your precious pearls:
The Right Way to Store Pearls
-
Use Individual Soft Compartments
-
Store each pearl piece separately in a silk-lined pouch or fabric-lined jewelry box
-
Prevents scratches from harder gemstones and metals
-
-
Maintain Proper Humidity
-
Pearls need slight moisture (store with a damp cloth in dry climates)
-
Avoid airtight containers which cause dehydration
-
-
Lay Flat for Necklaces
-
Always lay pearl strands flat to prevent silk thread stretching
-
Use jewelry rolls with individual channels for multiple strands
-
-
Climate Control Essentials
-
Keep away from direct sunlight (causes fading)
-
Store in a cool, dark place (ideal temperature: 60-70°F)

❌ Never store near heat sources (dries out nacre)
Pro Tip from Our Jewelers
"Rotate your pearl jewelry every 2-3 months if storing long-term. This prevents pressure marks and maintains even luster."
