Cleaning pearl jewelry requires a gentle approach to avoid damaging the pearls or the jewelry setting. Here are some steps you can follow to clean your pearl jewelry:

1. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the pearls clean. Avoid using abrasive or rough cloths that can scratch the pearls.

2. If your pearls are particularly dirty, you can use a solution of mild soap and warm water. Dip a soft cloth into the solution and gently clean the pearls. Be sure to rinse the pearls thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.

3. Do not soak the pearls in water, as this can damage the stringing material or the glue that holds the pearls in place.

4. Dry the pearls carefully with a soft cloth. Do not use a hair dryer or other heat source to dry the pearls, as this can cause them to crack.

5. Store your pearl jewelry in a soft, protective pouch or box to prevent scratches or other damage. Avoid storing your pearls with other jewelry that could scratch or damage them.

6. Avoid exposing your pearls to extreme temperatures or chemicals, as these can damage the pearls or the jewelry setting.

By following these steps, you can help keep your pearl jewelry looking its best for years to come.
