As with any fine jewelry, avoid direct use of cosmetics, perfumes, and hair care items on your necklace. Read directions on jewelry cleaners to make sure they are safe for all semi-precious stones, especially pearls. Polish with a silver cloth. To keep your jewelry intact while cleaning, don't pull them through the polishing cloth. Instead, rub the chain against the cloth. Crystals can dull from body oils and cosmetics after prolonged wear. Clean with jewelry cleaner to return them to their original sparkle. Clean pearls with mild, soapy water. Other cleaners may damage the surface of your stones.
