If you don’t wear your pearls, they’ll die
It’s true. If you’re ever lucky enough to own a string of real pearls”not the cultured kind”you’ll be faced with the biggest conundrum of your life. As the saying goes, pearls should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. They are extremely sensitive and a pain to take care of, not to mention expensive! You might be tempted to just leave them tucked away in a safe. However, wearing your pearls regularly actually improves their lustre, so, you’ll have to wear them once in a while if you want to increase their value and beauty. If you’re not into shucking your own oysters, try the Birks Freshwater Pearl Necklace ($650).
