Pearls are made of 2% of water and it is advised to rehydrate them frequently. It is also good to wear them because they rehydrate with skin contact. To store them, it is preferable for dry places to put a glass of water next to them to humidy the air. Your bathroom can be a good place to store them. There is no use to rub them with monoï oil or olive oil, because it makes the pearl greasy and prone to attract dust. In the case of pearls necklace, mounted on silk thread, avoid contact with water, because it can harm the silk. Just clean neatly the necklace, even unaccessible spots, with moisterized tissue.
In the case of a choker, mounted on silk thread, avoid immersing the necklace in water : this can weaken the silk thread. Just clean the necklace well, even the hard-to-reach places, with a cloth dampened with water.
