Can I wear my pearls every day, or do they need rest?

● Daily Wear Is Beneficial for Pearls
Wearing your real pearl necklace, real pearl earrings, or real pearl ring regularly actually helps maintain their natural luster. The natural oils from your skin keep freshwater pearl jewelry and cultured pearls hydrated, preventing dryness and dullness.

● Pearls Are Delicate but Resilient
While pearls have a soft nacre that can be scratched, gentle daily wear won’t cause significant damage. However, avoid exposing your dainty pearl jewelry or 18K gold pearl necklace to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or excessive sweat.

● Occasional “Rest” Is Helpful But Not Mandatory
It’s good to occasionally give your pearls a break—such as when doing heavy physical work or swimming—to avoid exposure to damaging elements. But pearls don’t require long periods of rest and can be worn most days if cared for properly.

● Proper Care Extends Pearl Life
After wearing, gently wipe your pearls with a soft cloth to remove oils and residues, then store them separately in a soft pouch or a fabric-lined jewelry box. This protects your 18K gold pearl necklace or minimalist pearl earrings for everyday wear from scratches and maintains their shine.
