Pearl Care

Pearls are organic — softer than gemstones, and worth a little care.

• Put your pearls on last, after perfume, hairspray and lotion — the chemicals dull their surface.
• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove any residue.
• Store separately from other jewellery, flat or in a soft pouch — pearls scratch easily against harder stones and metal.
• Avoid swimming, showering or exercising in your pearls; chlorine and prolonged moisture weaken the nacre over time.
• Let your pieces breathe — pearls like being worn, so avoid storing them in an airtight container for long stretches.

With a little care, a Mekaa piece is built to be worn for years, not seasons.
