Gemmologist's advice

Care and recharging of your pearl

Véronique,
gemmologist at MATY for 32 years, reveals her secrets...

To energetically recharge your pearl, you can immerse it for a few hours in demineralized water.

All chemicals and acids are harmful to pearls, so avoid exposing them to perfume, hairspray, soap, chlorine, etc. The more you wear your pearl, the more it will moisturize on contact with your skin. Clean your pearl regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
