Marvelous Tahitian Pearls from the Blue Lagoon of Rangiroa in French Polynesia
Your pearl is produced by a living organism, the black-lipped pearl oyster. It is made of aragonite, commonly called mother-of-pearl. This is the result of a complex structure combining a mineral part, mainly calcium carbonate, and an organic part mainly protein. It is therefore essential to be able to provide some care that respects the proper conservation of your pearl. Perfume, alcohol, chemicals or acids, hairspray, soapy water and chlorine are to be avoided. Also, avoid mixing your pearl with other jewelry to avoid scratching it. Wipe your pearl with a damp chamois leather to maintain it or wear it regularly, because in contact with your skin it will rehydrate and thus retain all its beauty.
