Classic freshwater pearl necklace with Sterling Silver endings
Freshwater cultured pearls are made from a substance called nacre. Nacre is a natural secretion produced by mollusks as a response to irritation or an irritant (such as a small bead or piece of tissue) being introduced into their shells. Over time, layers of nacre build up around the irritant, forming a pearl. The composition of nacre consists primarily of calcium carbonate (around 85%) and conchiolin (a protein that binds the calcium carbonate particles together). The combination of these substances gives the pearl its lustrous, shiny surface.
FRESHWATER PEARL JEWELLERY CARE:
a) Remove before vigorous exercising/sleeping to prevent breakage of the delicate parts.
b) Remove pearl jewellery before bathing & swimming to prevent the chemicals in the water.
c) Keep pearl necklaces away from flames to prevent the breakage of the string.
d) Avoid direct contact with perfumes, hairsprays, lotions, sanitizers, household cleaning products, vinegar, bleach, ammonia & direct heat.
e) Keep away from sharp and rough surfaces.
f) Wipe your jewellery with a soft cloth to clean.
g) Store individually in a soft cloth pouch.
h) Do not hang pearl necklaces on a rack to prevent the string from stretching.
i) If the endings of the pearl necklace are made from Sterling Silver, then keep it away from substances containing sulphur such as eggs, mustard, onions, mayo, latex, wool, sulphur-dyed fabrics, sulphate-based shampoos, wood, cardboard and smoke because it causes tarnishing to the sterling silver endings.
