🖤 Baroque pearls are pearls with an irregular non-spherical shape. Shapes can range from minor aberrations to distinctly ovoid, curved, pinch, or lumpy shapes. Most cultured freshwater pearls are baroque because freshwater pearls are mantle-tissue nucleated instead of bead nucleated.
PEARLS BENEFIT FROM BEING WORN. The body temperature and natural oils from the skin enhance the lustre. Enjoy pearls for what they are, true Organic Gems.
♥︎ CARE OF PEARLS
Put on pearls after you have applied your makeup, hairspray and perfume as these products can be harmful.
Remove pearls before bathing or swimming. Chemicals or minerals in the waterway harm the pearl or deteriorate the cord they are strung with.
After you have worn your pearls, wipe them gently with a soft clean cloth. Over time the slight acid in your perspiration can have an abrasive affect on them.
If you find it necessary to clean you pearls don’t use abrasive materials of stiff brushes. Gently wash in water with a mild soap if necessary and dry them with a soft cloth. Lay necklaces flat to dry. Do not hang them or wear them when wet as this may stretch the cord.
Do not keep pearls in a sealed plastic bag. Pearls are organic and need to breathe. Long exposure in sealed bags, direct heat or sunshine may crack, dry or discolour the pearls.
