Tips for cleaning pearls

Pearls and their original holographic luster represent one of the most beautiful sights in the world of jewelry. That shimmering white that captivates anyone who lays eyes on them is hard to find in other materials. At MUMIT, we already explained how pearls are formed, these enigmatic and beautiful elements of nature.

However, if you have purchased jewelry from spectacular collections like Mabi Blet, you surely want to keep your pearls spotless, and with them, their overwhelming magic. If so, we recommend the following:

How to clean pearls

Part of the mysticism of pearls comes from their origin: water. A simple method to clean them is, therefore, to bring them very slightly to their natural environment and, using a damp cloth, carefully remove dirt.

Lightly dampen the cloth (preferably cotton) and carefully clean each pearl on the piece of jewelry, one by one, to remove excess dirt, makeup, or perfume.

When cleaning our MUMIT pearls, we should avoid submerging the jewelry in water, as well as using brushes. These methods could damage them, as could storing them with other jewelry after cleaning (as friction with other metals can cause abrasions on the pearls).

Our precious pearl jewelry doesn't just require occasional cleaning. For something so beautiful to maintain the magic of the first moment, it must be treated daily with special care and attention. A pearl necklace like those you can find at MUMIT, will not show the passage of time, becoming that wonderful jewelry box staple that you can always turn to.

Therefore, the delicate cleaning mentioned above is not enough. It is also advisable to follow a series of recommendations such as these: we should never shower with pearls on, no matter how small they may be. Soap or shampoo directly damages pearls, and if they do, pool chlorine is certainly no exception.

Also, we will avoid perfuming the area where we are going to wear the pearl jewelry. If we do, it is advisable to clean the pearls and store them separately from other jewelry.

In addition to all of the above, it's important to keep something in mind: we should never apply commercial jewelry cleaning liquids to pearls. Their high ammonia content can damage them. We should also avoid applying alcohol to them, due to its abrasive capacity.

A damp cotton cloth, as previously recommended, is the most advisable for cleaning pearls due to its softness. Brushes or sponges will almost certainly damage them.

In short, when it comes to giving our pearl jewelry the care they need, regardless of the type (pendants or rings, for example) it is best to avoid contact with products such as soaps, alcohol, or chlorine, and to provide daily care and clean them frequently.

Our precious and shiny jewelry requires this delicate care. It is important to do everything possible to keep it looking as magical as the first day, and to devote all possible effort and dedication to its care.

At MUMIT, the quality of our jewelry is paramount, so that it becomes your most cherished jewelry box staple, a special piece that will accompany you on all kinds of adventures. And what are your favorites? Pearl earrings, charming designs where, as in other creations, we only use the beauty and quality of natural pearls.
