Често задавани въпроси за перлите

Pearls are extremely beautiful accents to quality silver jewelry. They are a solid object that has a round shape and is formed from some molluscs, often oysters. This usually happens when a grain of sand gets into the clam's body and starts to irritate it. If this mussel does not manage to expel it, it begins to secrete a special substance - mother of pearl, with which it envelops it.

In today's article, we are going to introduce you to some of the frequently asked questions that you are probably asking yourself about pearls. Let's start with their proper damage protection. 

Pearl damage protection

As you already know, pearls are mainly made up of the layers of nacre that are found in seashells and this allows them to be so beautiful and smooth. Often, over time, they can become damaged, especially if they are worn as jewelry, such as women's pearl bracelets .

When you are done cleaning, choose a soft cloth to remove the water. Do not wipe them aggressively, so as not to scratch the surface, both the silver and the pearls themselves. 

If you have chosen silver pearl sets or silver pearl earrings , it is a good idea not to put them on until they are completely dry. They are more prone to scratching when wet, so wait for them to dry well.

How to recognize fake pearls?

Pearls are a great accent in any outfit. They give chic and elegance to the stylish lady. That is why it is important to know how to distinguish fake from real pearls.

The real ones are naturally formed and grown in seashells, which give them a mother-of-pearl and smooth lustrous appearance. The fakes are made of a hard material and coated with an emulsion that makes them look shiny. 

To recognize them, it is enough to know that the real ones are never perfectly round, like almost everything that is created by nature. If you slightly hurt the pearl, a scratch should remain on it and this would tell you that it is real. The last option to distinguish the fakes from the real ones is to know that the real ones leave white marks on a mirror surface.
