More about these pearls
Where the color comes from.
Freshwater cultured pearls in any color other than white are dyed — that is the standard way the trade produces them, it is permanent, and it needs no special care beyond the above. Each product page states the treatment.
Cultured pearl and shell pearl.
Freshwater cultured pearls grew inside a mussel and vary from one to the next; Majestik shell pearl is a formed and coated bead of ground shell, uniform enough to match a pair.
Nacre and luster.
Nacre is the only part of a pearl anyone sees — the layers the mollusc lays down around the nucleus. Thicker nacre gives the deep inner glow that separates a good pearl from a shiny one, and it is also what perfume, hairspray and chlorine attack.
Looking after them.
Pearls are soft, about 2.5 on the Mohs scale against a diamond’s 10. Put the piece on last, after scent and cosmetics, wipe it with a soft damp cloth after wearing, and keep it away from an ultrasonic cleaner for good.
