Pearl Storage & Care
It's generally recommended to store pearls in a soft cloth away from other jewelry or components. Pearls are very soft and can be damaged by coming into contact with metal or gemstones. Plastic bags are generally not recommended because they can cause the shiny surface of the pearl (the nacre) to dry out and crack.
