Pearl Care – How To Care for Pearl Jewelry

Pearl Care - How To Care for Pearl Jewelry
Once you have purchased your pearl jewelry, the next most important part in the life of your jewelry is the care you give to it. Pearls are porous and thus are ranked between a 3.5 and 4.5 on the Mohs hardness scale (diamonds are ranked a 10 – the hardest known natural element) making the surface of a pearl susceptible to scratches by content with sharp objects and other gemstones.

Here is a short list of cautions to help protect and nurture the long life of your pearl jewelry.

1. Being organic materials, pearls are vulnerable to acid, alkaline and humidity levels. Perfume and hairspray, which contain alcohol and acids, should be avoided on the neck, upper chest, wrist, fingers and earlobes. Take your pearls off when applying cosmetics.

2. Sweat, perspiration, oil secretion from skin, and soapy water can dull and discolor the surface luster of pearls. After removing your pearl jewelry, wipe the individual pearls with a damp (not wet), soft cloth or silicon cloth. Only use cleaners labeled as safe for pearls. Do not use an ultrasonic cleaner. Do not steam clean. A small drop of olive oil on the cloth can help maintain the luster. Pay close attention to the areas around the drill holes where dirt may tend to collect. Lay your pearls on a towel to dry.

3. Water can weaken the silk thread which holds the pearls together. Remove your pearl jewelry before showering, bathing, swimming or entering a hot tub. Do not wear pearls when the string is wet (though the string should always be dry). Wet string will stretch and attract dirt making it difficult to clean.

4. Do not expose pearls to direct sunlight or leave them in high temperatures. Heat can turn pearls brown or dry them out and make them crack.

5. Remove your pearls before cooking, cleaning and washing dishes; liquids like vinegar, fruit juices and detergents should be immediately wiped off. Do not expose pearls to bleaches, powdered cleaners, baking soda, and ammonia-based cleaners (like Windex).

6. Avoid wearing Shetland wool with pearls.

7. Do not hang pearls to dry.

8. Do not wear pearls when the string is wet.

9. About every six months, have your pearls inspected by a professional jeweler for secure mounting and a strong string.

10. Do store your pearl jewelry is a chamois or other non-abrasive bag. Do not leave your pearls on top of or under your other jewelry.

By following these simple pearl care instructions, your pearl jewelry will last longer and maintain their natural beauty for their lifetime.

Milan Fashion Week: For Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier Accessories Make It Personal

Sarah Mower’s review of Bottega Veneta’s Spring 2010 runway on Style.com quotes Tomas Maier, the label’s designer, as saying, “‘I think of it as a collaboration with women. The clothes are meant to be a backdrop, a blank canvas, so the wearer can play with color and accessories to change the look and make it her own.’” With the exception of the first image, which I leave to your imagination, as you study the last two note the way he styled the jewelry. It’s simple, straightforward, and yet the pieces have a strong presence that place the focus near the face so as not to distract from the supple silhouette of the dress.

Omega Opens Vancouver Boutique In Preparation For 2010 Winter Olympic Games
With the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics just over two months away, Swiss watchmaker Omega is taking all steps to ensure that its presence is well-established beyond even the Games itself, where it has served as Official Timekeeper since 1932. The historic brand responsible for such iconic luxury timepieces as the Speedmaster Professional chronograph, the Constellation collection, and the Central Tourbillon just concluded the ribbon cutting events for an impressive boutique right on the ground floor of Vancouver’s prestigious Fairmont Hotel. It becomes the fourth North American boutique for Omega watches, joining established stores in New York City, Beverly Hills, and Mexico City, and is positioned to serve the throngs of visitors which will flock to British Columbia from around the globe to witness the Olympics.

In addition to a comprehensive collection of Omega watches expected by brand fans and connoisseurs, the Vancouver boutique will showcase those Omega models which pay homage to the Olympic Games. Included in these thematic offerings is the special edition Seamaster Professional 300M Diver “Vancouver 2010″ watch announced earlier in 2009; among other commemorative details, this stainless steel Omega timepiece presents a red anodized bezel insert and white dial to honor the colors of the Canadian flag. According to a press statement from Omega, the boutique is the first exclusive brand venue in Canada to offer customers the updated Constellation range of watches for both women and men.

However, exclusive watches are not the only Omega products which are to be on display. A collection of fine leather products are available for sale, in addition to Omega’s very first foray into the world of perfumery, “Aqua Terra Eau de Toilette pour Homme”. Omega representatives from Switzerland and other countries will give international guests support and assistance in a rainbow of languages. Visitors curious about the inner secrets of mechanical watches will appreciate the presence of a strategically placed workbench; here, an Omega master watchmaker will be demonstrating various aspects of the horological crafts in clear view.

Omega’s Vancouver boutique will be open throughout the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, and feature visits from various participating athletes that are Omega brand ambassadors. The boutique opening ceremonies witnessed the attendance by two of Canada’s most accomplished skiers: Steve Podborksi, bronze medalist in the downhill from the 1980 Olympic Games, and Paralympian Karolina Wisniewska, a 6-time medalist and inductee into the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame.
