CARE INSTRUCTIONS
To care for your jewelry, follow these instructions:
- Wipe your jewelry after each wear with a soft, gentle cloth.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, such as chlorine in pools and hot tubs, lotions, perfumes and hairspray. Put on your jewelry last.
- Avoid sleeping in jewelry to bring unnecessary wear and tear.
- When your gold-filled jewelry is looking dull, use a jewellery polishing cloth to remove dirt and buildup.
- All pearl jewelry has to be removed before showering and swimming to maintain its luster. Constant exposure to chlorine in water will damage the pearl surface. Similarly chemical substances in perfumes, cosmetics and hairspray will eat holes in the pearl nacre. Put on your pearl jewelry last after your normal skincare and makeup routine.
What are Mabe pearls?
Mabe (pronounced Mar-bay) pearls, also called blister pearls, are unique in how they’re created. Grown attached to the inside of the shell, mabe pearls are hemispherical in shape.
The most obvious and noticeable characteristic that sets the mabe pearl apart from other types is obviously its shape. However, while they’re typically dome- shaped, they can also be elongated, as in teardrop shapes or similar.
In terms of size, mabe pearls are generally measured across the diameter and given a millimeter measurement. The most common sizes range from 8.0mm to around 13.0mm.
