About Freshwater Pearls: Freshwater pearls should be the last thing to put on and the first thing to take off when applying perfumes, makeup, and hairsprays. Always remove before showering and swimming in salt water and chlorinated pools. Pearls are sensitive to heat and should not be stored in airtight containers because this can cause the pearl to dry out. They need to draw in moisture, so loosely wrapping in a soft cloth and placing in a slightly opened jewelry drawer is best. Pearls can be cleaned gently with warm water using a soft cloth. Never scrub a pearl or use ultrasonic cleaners. Materials: Cultured freshwater pearls 5mm and 7-8mm off round All metal components are 14K gold filled, 14K rose gold filled, or 925 sterling silver If you have any questions just click "message seller" on our homepage.
