Pearl-Buying Tips

The Pearl Outlet president Terry Shepherd offers the following
tips for purchasing and caring for pearls. 
Learn more at www.thepearloutlet.com.

1.  Before purchasing pearls, it’s important to look at the quality.  Pearl quality is typically denoted by the standard letter grading scale of C, B, A, AA and AAA, with AAA representing the highest quality. The Pearl Outlet does not offer any pearl of a quality less than A.

2. Carefully cleaning your pearls ensures they will remain bright and beautiful for generations. Wipe pearls with a soft damp cloth after you wear them to remove residue.  Periodically wash them in mild soap and lay them on a soft cloth to dry. 
Do not wear pearls when the strand is wet.

3. Pearls are soft compared to other gems and precious metals. Pearls are best kept alone in a soft cloth pouch or soft lined jewelry box.
