Pearls are primarily composed of a conchiolin (a type of protein) matrix and nacre, which are mineral crystals of calcium carbonate. The protein controls the crystal's growth and forms the foundation that holds the platelets together. Structurally, these calcium carbonate platelets can be aragonite, calcite, or a combination of both. Pearls are unique gemstones produced by living organisms. ▎Can I wear pearls while showering? Pearls are not inherently afraid of water, as they grow in it. However, pearls are sensitive to chemicals! Genuine pearls are organic gemstones, and the soaps, detergents, and impurities encountered during showering can affect their luster. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid wearing pearls while showering. Light contact with water is acceptable; simply gently wipe the pearls with a soft cloth afterward. Avoid drying them with a hairdryer or exposing them to direct sunlight, as heat can also damage their luster. ▎Three Things You Must Never Do to Pearls 1. **Avoid Contact with Chemicals:** Pearls are sensitive to acidic and alkaline substances, including cosmetics, skincare products, and perfumes. Please wait until your skincare and makeup products have been fully absorbed by your skin before wearing pearls. 2. **Avoid Collision with Hard Objects:** Pearls have a relatively low hardness. Therefore, try to avoid collisions with hard objects to prevent surface scratches or damage. 3. **Avoid Heat:** Exposure to direct sunlight or proximity to heat sources can cause pearls to discolor or lose their luster. ▎How to Care for My Pearls? It is recommended to gently wipe the surface of your pearls with a soft cloth after each wear. Store pearl jewelry separately in a resealable bag or pouch to prevent friction and collision with other jewelry. Pearls are also not suitable for prolonged storage in excessively humid or dry environments. If your storage environment is humid, take out your pearl jewelry at least once a month and gently wipe it with a dry soft cloth. If your environment is excessively dry, gently wipe the pearls with a slightly damp soft cloth monthly and allow them to air dry naturally before storing. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53738609863_729e35eb57_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53738609853_61f5a80ea0_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53738609843_b689e22e04_k.jpg
