I love these colors, it reminds me of spring, green grass blue skys, new growth. I like the wavy looke of Paua shell, and the sparkle of the crystals. Fresh water pearls always a favorite of mine.Plant some flowers for yourself today, to bring some color in your world.

Pearls Caring for Your Treasures

Pearls they are sooo beautiful, I love each color, and shape.But ladies we must take care of these treasures, if we are to keep them for years to come.


1. Always use a clean dry cloth to clean your pearls. Don't use any chemicals on your pearls, chemicals or cleaners could and will destroy the nacre that is wrapped around your pearls, and nacre cannot be replaced.


2 A rule of thumb with pearls they should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you remove.

3. Do not expose your pearls to hairsprays or perfumes.

4. Pearls should be stored separately , I prefer boxes or cloth bags. Pearls surfaces can be scratched. by others stones or metals.


Take care of your pearls so that you can pass them on and onnnnnnnnnnn. (peace)
