Wearing fine jewellery shouldn’t just be for special occasions, which is why By Baby jewellery is crafted with great care and skill, so you can wear your pieces as often as you like.
Wear & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jewellery, we recommend removing it when you sleep, exercise or do any strenuous work (e.g. playing sport or moving house). Although this piece is water-friendly, we don’t recommend you swim while wearing your pearl jewellery.
While you can wear your pearl jewellery every day, it’s important to remember pearls are more delicate than other gems, requiring extra care. Pearls are porous, and adhesive is often used to secure the gem into their setting, which makes them susceptible to damage from chemicals, perfumes, hand creams and chlorinated water, and it’s best to avoid contact with them. For this reason, we also recommend avoiding submerging your pearl jewellery in warm water for long periods of time. It’s best to remember pearls, like all gemstones can be vulnerable to hard knocks, or being dropped on hard surfaces.
Cleaning
Like all gemstones, pearls can become dull from daily wear. Regular professional cleaning is the key to maintaining their iridescent shine. In between professional cleans, you can gently polish your pearl using a lint-free lens or jewellery cloth. Do not use a homemade or store-bought jewellery cleaning solution on your pearl jewellery.
