INTEL SERIES 05 // LONGEVITY & CARE

The Art of
Preservation

Pearls are organic masterpieces born from life itself. Unlike inert gemstones, they respond to your touch and the environment. Proper care is the ritual of maintaining their living light.

"Last On, First Off"

The ultimate commandment of pearl care. Your pearls should be the final touch of your ensemble—applied after perfumes and lotions—and the first to be gently removed at the end of the evening.

CORE GUIDELINES

The Ritual of Care

01

Breathable Storage

Pearls thrive on natural moisture. Store them in a soft silk pouch, never in airtight plastic which can cause nacre to become brittle.

02

Chemical Shield

Acid is the enemy of nacre. Keep your gems away from hairspray, citrus-based perfumes, and chlorine found in swimming pools.

03

Gentle Cleansing

After wear, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use only lukewarm water and pH-neutral specialized jewelry soap.

04

Separate Sanctuary

Pearls are easily scratched by diamonds or metal edges. Give them their own dedicated space away from other high-hardness gems.

05

Restringing Ritual

Frequent wear involves the structural life of the internal thread. We recommend professional restringing at least every 10 years to maintain peak security.

Maintenance Schedule

Post-Wear

Gentle wipe with a soft cloth to remove skin oils.

Monthly

Inspect the clasp security and silk thread tension.

Decadal

Professional assessment of luster and structural restringing.
