The staff at Classique will be happy to assist you with the basics including useful tips on how to care for your fine jewelry. To keep your diamonds and most gem stones shining brightly, soak your jewelry in jewelry cleaner, gently brush it with a small brush, rinse it under cool water and wipe it with a lint-free cloth. Even though a diamond is hard, it can be chipped by a sharp blow. Do not put opals in jewelry cleaners. Avoid exposing your stones and gold to harsh chemicals, such as chlorine, bleach or mercury, as it can pit and discolor the gold in the mounting as well as make your prongs brittle and fail.

-For cultured pearls, use mild soap and water to wash them. Keep them away from chemicals, abrasives, cosmetics, hair sprays and perfumes.

-When storing your jewelry, place those in a fabric lined jewel case or box. Be certain they are separated from other pieces of jewelry, to avoid scratching metal edges or other stones against each other.

-Avoid wearing your jewelry while doing rough work and while sleeping as prongs, clasp and earrings can easily catch in sheets and blankets

Frequently Asked Questions About Pearls
 
Is there a standardized grading system for cultured pearls?
Pearls have been bought and sold for thousands of years, but there still is no widely accepted standardized grading system, although individual vendors may employ their own. Part of the problem is that no two pearls are alike and that a grading system would require literally hundreds of quality parameters. In addition, some gem-quality pearls are so unique that they defy comparison.
Will pearls last forever?

Part of the problem is that no two pearls are alike and that a grading system would require literally hundreds of quality parameters. In addition, some gem-quality pearls are so unique that they defy comparison.
Pearls need proper handling and attention for them to last for generations to come. If exposed to harmful products, such as cosmetics or abrasive detergents, over an extended period of time the luster of a pearl can be diminished. They should be wiped down with soft, damp cloth after each wearing and they periodically should be deep cleaned by a professional jeweler.

It's industry practice to measure cultured pearls in a necklace by range. For example, a strand may be called a 6-6 1/2 mm. What this means is that every pearl in the strand will be within that range.
