Pearls are delicate organic gems with a soft, natural luster. To preserve their beauty over time, follow these recommendations:
✅ When wearing:

• Put them on last, take them off first: Apply perfume, makeup, and creams before wearing your pearls.

• Avoid contact with sweat, perfume, hairspray, or detergents, as these can dull or damage the surface.

• Avoid knocks or friction with hard objects, as pearls scratch easily.
  ✅ Cleaning:

• Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each use.

• Do not use alcohol, harsh chemicals, or ultrasonic cleaning.

• If not worn for a while, clean them occasionally to maintain their luster.
  ✅ Storage:

• Store pearls separately to avoid scratches from other jewelry.

• Use a soft fabric pouch or a jewelry box; avoid direct sunlight and overly dry environments.

• Do not keep them in airtight plastic bags for long periods — pearls need to “breathe.”

1. Different Environments
   Freshwater pearls grow in rivers, lakes, and other freshwater environments.
   Saltwater pearls are cultivated in the ocean.
2. Nucleus and Structure
   Freshwater pearls usually have no nucleus or only a very small one, making them almost entirely nacre and therefore denser.
   Saltwater pearls typically have a round nucleus covered with layers of nacre.

3. Appearance and Luster
   Freshwater pearls come in various shapes—oval, irregular, baroque—with a soft luster and diverse colors.
   Saltwater pearls tend to be rounder, with a more intense, mirror-like shine, and are commonly used in fine jewelry.

4. Rarity and Price
   Saltwater pearls are more difficult to cultivate and rarer, which is why they are usually more expensive.
   Freshwater pearls are more accessible and abundant, though some high-quality ones can rival saltwater pearls.

Summary
Freshwater pearls are more expressive, varied, and ideal for creative or everyday designs.
Saltwater pearls are more refined, rare, and associated with luxury and formal elegance.
There is no better or worse—only what resonates with your personal style.
