Pink pearl jewelery has become increasingly popular in recent years and it is easy to see why. It is a delightful to wear and to look at. However, while pearls are for pretty they are also quite delicate. The following pointers will help you keep your pink pearls looking fresh and clean.

Store Pearls Properly

Pearls are soft compared to other gems. They scratch and mark easily. So make sure you store them safely away from anything that might mark them. Pearls should be kept in separate section of your jewelry box and, if possible, wrapped in a piece of soft cloth or in individual bags or boxes.

Protect Pearls from Chemicals

The natural nacre that makes up a pearl and gives it the distinctive glow can be easily damaged by chemicals. Keep your pearls away from your make up, perfume and hairspray. Do your makeup before putting on your pearl jewelry. Of course, you should remove all your pearl jewelry before attempting any household chores as domestic cleaning products can also damage them.

Protect Pearls From Heat

Pearls grow naturally in the cool damp shell of oysters and muscles. Very hot or dry conditions will damage them. Do not leave pearls in direct sunlight or where they will get too hot. Try to store them somewhere with an even temperature. Inside your jewelry box will be fine.

Carefully Clean Your Pearls

The chemicals in your skin and dirt you may have touched against can damage your pearls. After wearing them, make sure to wipe your pearls gently with a clean cloth. If the pearls are visibly dirty use a little damp cloth and be sure to allow the pearls to dry naturally before putting them away. If you feel the need to use a jewelry cleaner make sure to read the label carefully and check that it is appropriate for use with pearls.

Check Your Pearl Jewelry Regularly

As well as cleaning and storing your pearl jewelry sets properly, it is always wise to check that it has received no other damage. Pearl necklaces will need to be restrung from time to time so check regularly the the string has not been damaged. Always check necklace clasps to ensure that they still work properly. If you find any problems with your jewelry, bring it to a reliable jeweler for repair.

Pearl jewelery is a thing of beauty and will last a long time if properly looked after. Take good care of your jewelry and what you wear today will still be worn by your children in years to come.

The contrasting beauty of pearls and diamonds can be combined to produce a piece of outstanding elegance.  A round pearl as the centerpiece in a baguette ring is a piece that can add allure to any girl’s jewelry collection. The luster and iridescence of the pearl, flanked on either side by shoulders of brilliant baguette diamonds, makes this a baguette ring of unique loveliness.

The use of baguette cut diamonds to offset other stones has been popular among designers since the early 20th century and is just as popular today.  This is because the simple shape and small size of the baguette-cut stones make it easy to incorporate them into intricate designs.  A classic round pearl, has been and always will be, a sought after treasure for any woman.  Combine the clarity of the baguette diamonds, the pristine whiteness of a round pearl and the warmth of 18k gold, and you have a baguette ring of exquisite beauty.  Flank the pearl with semi-circles of gold, inset with baguette diamonds, framing the loveliness of the pearl with shafts of brilliance and you have a piece worthy of gracing the most aristocratic hand. The combination of the straight lines of the baguette cut and the soft rounded lines of the pearl and semi-circles give a composition of artistic excellence.

When speaking of a baguette ring, one usually thinks of a diamond ring, but many other precious stones lend themselves to the baguette cut.  Consider a round pearl surrounded by the rich blue of baguette-cut sapphires to create a baguette ring of unrivaled beauty. When considering the combination of stones, it is interesting to remember the concept of birth stones because a baguette ring with the correct birth stone would make a wonderful gift for that special someone. Combine the birth stone baguettes with an exquisite round pearl, and you have a unique gift that will last forever.
