Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWire) -- 05/21/2013 --Pearls are one of the most classic pieces of jewelry that are timeless, worn by some of the most iconic women, such as Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy. They are perfect for any occasion, whether it is for a casual night out or a wedding, the smooth round pearls accent almost every outfit perfectly. Even though they are durable, they still need the necessary care to keep them looking beautiful for years to come, which is why Deborah Finn’s Rittenhouse Jewelers is revealing their new guide to the proper pearl cleaning. This way they can be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.

The jeweler of Philadelphia reveals that pearls require a different cleaning than typical sterling or other gems. If cleaning the organic gem at home, be sure to steer clear of harsh cleaners, perfumes, and even makeup. Deborah Finn’s Rittenhouse Jewelers recommends taking off pearl jewelry first thing when coming home, whether it may be earrings, necklaces, or bracelets. This way it will eliminate anything from damaging their beautiful, natural luster. Another tip is to never place pearl jewelry with other pieces, always keep them separate on a soft surface so the gems can’t be scratched.

In many cases pearls are passed down through generations and stored in safety deposit boxes or safes; however Deborah Finn warns pearl owners that the dry atmosphere can result in the pearls deteriorating if left in there for long periods of time. There are many precautions to take when owning valuable pearls, and the Philadelphia jeweler wants owners to get the most out of their heirloom or gift with these few tips. The proper care is necessary to ensure that they last for many years to come.
