Here are a few things to check before buying:
The luster and uniformity of the pearls
The sturdiness of the clasp
The quality of the metal used

Maintenance tips and choosing a pearl necklace
Taking care of your pearl necklace is simple, but it requires a few good habits:
Clean your pearls with a soft and slightly damp cloth after each wear.
Avoid harsh chemicals such as detergents, vinegar, or perfumes.
Always store your pearls flat, in a soft pouch, separate from other jewelry.
Remove your pearl necklace before going to the pool, the beach, or taking a shower: chlorinated or salt water tarnishes the pearls.
Regularly check the clasp and the sturdiness of the thread.
To harmonize your necklace with your outfits, think about the length. A choker goes well with a round neck or a low-cut dress. A longer necklace goes with a sweater or an open shirt. Find all our tips on our jewelry care page.
