How to Care for Pearls

Just about every one of us has pearls that we wear with great pride or that women in our families wear that will be passed down. Pearls have traditionally been given at graduation or for a bride on her wedding day. Caring for pearls is something that I was keenly interested in learning to do, so I consulted with Tracey Holton-Garrett at Van Atkins Jewelers. She very graciously has made three videos on the care of jewelry and ideas for us if we own estate pieces. This is the first of three videos. I do hope you will find it as informative as I do. She has removed some of the mystique in caring for pearls.
