Caring For Pearls
True luxury is to be truly treasured. A Kailis pearl is the heirloom of future generations. Its lustre will endure, its form is everlasting, and its romance will live in the hearts of those who wear it.
Kailis’ Australian South Sea pearls are enduring gems from the oceans off Western Australia’s north west coast, and are heirlooms to be treasured by many generations. They are remarkably resilient, but will appreciate and respond to attention and care.
Stored in their original case, they will remain away from other gems or jewellery that may rub against your pearls.
Ideally, apply makeup and hair products before you put your pearls on, and avoid contact with deodorant, sunscreen and chlorinated water. It is also best not to wear perfume where you intend to wear your pearls.
Although pearls can be worn and enjoyed every day, it is advisable not to swim, shower or play sport whilst wearing them.
From time to time, simply wipe your pearls with a soft damp cloth. There is no need for detergents, alcohol or other cleaning solutions. Your pearls will respond naturally to a gentle chemical-free clean.
Some jewellery is delicate, requiring a little extra care, and is best kept in its original case. Wire or cable style pendants and bracelets should be handled gently, and stored flat to avoid kinking.
Leather featured in jewellery will age and wear over time like any leather product. To maintain leather it is best not to wear it in the shower or when swimming. It can be treated with a little leather conditioner – taking care to avoid contact with pearls and other stones.
Restring pearl strands regularly to avoid broken thread. Ideally pearls should be re-stranded every two years. Ask your jeweller to check the clasp for security.
