Pearl Turquoise Clasp
April 6th, 2011
What is the best and safest way to clean an old pearl necklace?
I have some jewelry that belonged to my great grandmother. There is a pearl necklace with what appears to be a turquoise clasp. What is the best and safest way to clean this? My cousin is getting married soon and is looking for a set of pearls to wear. I thought this would be sweet for her…old, borrowed AND blue

Though Blitz and The Pearl Doctor both sell specialized solutions for cleaning pearls, you can also use a very delicate soap, like Ivory Flakes. Stay away from harsh chemicals that are ammonia based or an ultra sound machine. I’ve inherited and ruined some strands with improper care and cleaning, but have found solutions made for cleaning pearls do work, but so do Ivory flakes fully dissolved in warm water, soaking and using a soft cloth to gently remove body oils and accumulated gunk. If there is dirt inside the holes, use a toothpick to gently extracate it (dampened in the soap flakes). I gently wipe my remaining stands of pearls with a similarly treated cloth after every time I wear them to keep the body oils and dirt from accumulating, too. What a wonderful piece of family history to include in your cousin’s wedding.
