Q：How do you care for pearls during travel?
A：Caring for pearls during travel is crucial. Here are some suggestions:
-
Avoid contact with hard objects: Pack pearl jewelry carefully in luggage to avoid rubbing or squeezing against hard objects, which could cause scratches or damage to the surface of the pearls.
-
Keep away from chemicals: Avoid exposing pearls to chemicals such as perfume, cosmetics, or cleaners, as these substances can damage the surface luster of the pearls.
-
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight: Try to avoid leaving pearls exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can cause pearls to fade in color or the surface to become dry.
-
Clean before wearing: Before wearing pearls, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
-
Separate packaging: Store pearl jewelry separately in soft cloth bags or pearl boxes to prevent friction with other jewelry, making it easier to manage and protect.
-
Monitor temperature and humidity: Pearls are sensitive to temperature and humidity, so try to avoid storing pearl jewelry in overly hot or humid environments.
-
Regular maintenance: After your trip, regularly maintain your pearls by gently wiping them with a clean, damp cloth, then drying them with a dry cloth. Store them in a well-ventilated, dry place.
Following these maintenance measures can effectively protect pearl jewelry, keeping them lustrous and beautiful during travel.
