How should I care for pearl jewelry?

Can I get pearl jewelry wet?
- While pearls themselves are porous and naturally contain moisture, pearl jewelry can be damaged by excessive water exposure. Avoid submerging pearl jewelry in water. Light splashes of water should be dried off promptly with a soft cloth.
How can I tell if a pearl is real or imitation?
- Real pearls feel slightly gritty, while imitation pearls feel perfectly smooth. Real pearls are also slightly uneven and asymmetrical, unlike the perfectly round imitations. Gently rub the pearl against your tooth to feel for this grittiness.
How do oysters produce pearls?
- Natural pearls form when an irritant, like a grain of sand, enters an oyster's shell. The oyster secretes nacre, a lustrous substance, to coat the irritant. Layer upon layer of nacre is deposited on the irritant until a pearl is formed.
