A Guide on How to Care for Pearls

Pearls have been used in jewelry as far back as Ancient Greece. Their timeless appeal makes them an excellent investment piece that you can pass down for generations. However, if you want your jewelry to last, you need to understand how to care for pearls. 

Pearls are stunning to look at, but they're also delicate. That's why knowing how to clean and store your pearl jewelry is key to ensuring it lasts. Here are some tips you can use to care for it. 

Cleaning Pearls the Correct Way

Each time you wear your pearls, be sure to wipe them down afterward with a soft, dry cloth. While pearls benefit from absorbing some of the natural oils the body produces, they don't benefit from perfume, sweat, or dirt. To keep your pearl jewelry looking pristine, be sure to wipe it down. 

That said, only use a damp cloth if you need to. You may notice stains on your pearls after a time, and you can clean these with a cloth dipped in lukewarm water and mild dish soap. Again, only do this when you notice stains or your pearls are dirty.

Never submerge your pearl necklace in water! The water can ruin the silk thread used to string the pearls together. Be sure to let your necklace dry completely before storing or wearing it to preserve the silk. 

Unfortunately, the silk thread doesn't benefit from body oils like the pearls do. It pays to bring your pearls to a jeweler from time to time to get them professionally cleaned. Your jeweler can also check on the state of your necklaces and bracelets to ensure the silk is in good condition. 

Restringing Pearl Necklaces

Over time, your pearl necklace can stretch out or fray. The more frequently you wear your jewelry, the more often you may need to restring it.

Generally, people will restring their pearls every two or three years. However, if you wear your pearls weekly or more often, you may need to have them restrung each year. 

You can check to see if you need them restrung by examining the length of your necklace. If the knots appear stretched out, your necklace looks uneven, or you notice any fraying, it's time to have the piece restrung. 

The price of pearl restringing varies depending on the length, though it's usually around $50 - $100 or so. 

Of course, you won't have to worry about the string if your pearl necklace is designed with sterling silver or gold instead. Designs such as this Pearl Y Necklace offer the beauty of pearls without the high maintenance of silk thread. 

How to Care for Pearls: Dos and Don'ts 

Never expose pearls to harsh chemicals such as vinegar, ammonia, chlorine bleach, and hydrogen peroxide. Also, limit exposing your pearls to perfume and hairspray. These chemicals can ruin the pearl's surface. 

If you must use perfume, lotion, makeup, and hairspray, only put your pearls on afterward. Take your pearls off first before changing clothes, washing your face, or getting ready for bed. 

Always take your pearls off before exercising to limit exposing them to sweat and bacteria. The acids in sweat can damage them.

Don't wear pearls over rough fabrics, such as wool, as this can cause scratches. 

Avoid submerging your pearl jewelry. Never wear pearls while swimming, in the shower, or while doing dishes. Water contains chlorine, which can separate pearls from their backings, ruin the pearl's luster, and damage the thread. 

Store pearl jewelry in a soft case or cloth. This protects them from rubbing against other pieces of jewelry and hard surfaces that can scratch and damage their surface. 

Again, remember to wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth after each use. This wipes away excess oil, dirt, and sweat. 

Wear your pearl jewelry often. Pearls benefit from the moisture produced by our bodies. Just remember to take them off if you're exercising, going swimming, or taking a shower. 

Proper Storage for Your Pearls 

Whether it's a necklace or pearl earrings, proper storage is essential to ensuring the longevity of your piece. 

If possible, keep your necklace, bracelet, or earrings in the original pouch or container they arrived in. If you no longer have it, a lined jewelry box, silk bag, or a soft cloth will do. Avoid storing your pearls next to other pieces, as it's more likely they'll get scratched. 

Never store pearls in an air-tight bag or container. Pearls require moisture, or they might crack. Also, never store pearls in plastic bags or containers. 

Another common mistake pearl owners make is hanging necklaces from hooks. Hanging your necklace or bracelet in this way puts extra strain on the thread and can stretch it out prematurely. 

There are plenty of jewelry storage ideas out there, from simple jewelry boxes to storage behind mirrors. Find a solution that protects your pearls but doesn't keep them entirely out of sight and out of mind. After all, you want to wear your pearls at least somewhat regularly. 

Another common mistake people make is taking off their jewelry at night and storing it on their nightstands. Not only is this a recipe for a lost pearl earring, but it can scratch your pearls. If you plan on storing your jewelry on your nightstand, buy a soft jewelry tray with compartments. 

Protect Your Pearls

Knowing how to care for pearls and understanding the dos and don'ts of cleaning and storage will help to extend the longevity of your jewelry. Use these tips to ensure you're properly caring for your pearls so that you can one day pass them on to future generations.

What Are Huggie Earrings and How Do You Style Them?

Earrings are pieces of jewelry that can make or break an entire look. Whether you want to spice up an outfit or just look a little more put together on a casual day, earrings will achieve it.

In fact, earrings (and other jewelry) are so popular that the global jewelry market is expected to exceed $266 billion in value by 2027.

Have you heard of huggie earrings? These are a new style of earring that is easy to wear, comfortable, and effortlessly trendy.

To learn more about these daily wear earrings, keep reading this article!

So What Exactly Are Huggie Earrings?

Huggie earrings, often known as huggers, are earrings that don't use a back. Instead, a hinge at the top of the earring allows the post to open and shut.

The word "huggie" comes from the fact that the earring is designed to sit snuggly against your earlobe.

Huggie earrings were originally relatively tiny and practically enclosed the earlobe. However, because these earrings were so well received, jewelers took the next step and created increasingly bigger versions.

Most hoops have a visible hinge in front—on top where your ear hole is. This can detract from a hoop's elegant and clean appearance. The way the earring links with your earlobe, especially with smaller hoop earrings, influences the overall elegance of the design.

Because the hinge is located in the lower portion of the earring, a huggie provides a clean line from earring to lobe.

Huggie earrings are generally shaped like a heart or a rectangle. Huggies are available in a variety of sizes.

Benefits of Wearing Huggie Earrings

One of the most appealing aspects of huggie earrings is their versatility. Because these earrings exist in many forms, sizes, and materials, you can easily match them to your clothing.

Knowing how much ladies adore hoop earrings, some bright jewelry designer devised a brilliant concept. They created a hoop earring with a bottom hinge. When the earring is clicked shut, the hoop post is fastened to the rear of the ring, sealing the circle.

Because no backing is required and the earring hangs onto the post, a one-of-a-kind earring was created.

You'll wear your post earrings less after discovering how comfy huggies are!

Huggie jewelers caught the word and began to get imaginative. They knew we needed the hinge and didn't want to bother with the backings. But we still wanted options, and we got them.

Do you wear post-style earrings? Have you ever been pricked in the neck by your post?

If you wear your huggies and grab your phone and lean it against your shoulder while multitasking, it won't hurt. Since there is no backing, you won't have a needle jabbing into the side of your head if there's any pressure on your ear.

Because they are so close to your skin, it is nearly hard to snag them on your clothes when you remove them.

Huggie earrings are also versatile. They may be worn as a single pair or numerous stacked pairs to create as big or tiny a statement as you wish.

Hoop earrings may be worn not just casually but also to more formal parties and dressier situations.

Huggies are light so they won't dangle from your top ear or earlobe. They can also be worn for more extended periods than studs or hoops. And when the time comes, cleaning is simple.

How to Wear Huggie Earrings

Now that you get the gist of huggie earrings and why they are great, it's time to start styling them!

Wearers often place one pair in their lobes for a simple, simplistic style or stack them in other ear piercings up the ear for a more layered bohemian aesthetic.

Pull out a pair of large huggie hoops if you've put together a look but still need that additional touch to take it to the next level.

You may match the color of the hoops to your dress or personal tastes.

For example, perhaps most of your jewelry is gold; therefore, you want to wear a pair of large gold hoops with your attire. Or maybe you've decided to wear your silver jewelry on a specific day and want to wear matching hoops.

You can't go wrong with any of the gold huggie earrings you select! Pair your hoop earrings with a strong red lip for an additional bonus and splash of color. Consider pushing your hair back from your face to highlight your lips and earrings.

Pair your hoops and red lip with a basic blouse and torn jeans for a daytime look. If you need to spruce up your look, hoops and red lips look great with an evening gown or festive holiday costume.

Consider wearing many pairs of hoops in varied sizes if you have more than one piercing per earlobe to create a more detailed look. For example, some people wear the largest pair in their primary holes and smaller pairs in their second or third holes.

You may mix and match hoop earrings sizes and metal hues to create a unique and eye-catching style. This allows you to display your originality and distinctive flair.

Stay On-Trend and Comfortable With Huggie Earrings

Huggie earrings compliment any outfit or style. They look beautiful in anyone's ears, but they are also comfortable, trendy, and easy to wear since they don't feature an annoying earring back.

How to Effortlessly Wear a Medallion Necklace

What are medallions? How do they differ from pendants? Here's what you need to know, plus how to style a medallion necklace for an effortlessly chic look.

Keyword(s): medallion necklace

Nothing should stop us from investing in ourselves. That’s why despite the events of the last two years, the global jewelry market is still growing at over 6% a year!

Rather than buying countless pieces of costume jewelry, it’s better to invest in high-quality jewelry that will last. Which essential jewelry pieces do you need to have a well-rounded collection?

One of the most iconic necklaces is a medallion necklace. A well-chosen medallion should have a design that speaks to you. Bought from the right place, it can last a lifetime.

But how should you style a medallion necklace? That depends on the look you’re going for. Versatile as they may be, the choice of chain-length, metal color, and complementing pieces are what make the look effortless.

Here’s our style guide for wearing medallion necklaces perfectly with any outfit.

Medallions vs. Pendants

Is a pendant necklace and a medallion necklace the same thing? While often used interchangeably, there are actually some key differences.

A pendant necklace is anything suspended from a chain. Meaning that pendants can come in all shapes, sizes, and materials. Technically speaking, even a surfer’s shark tooth necklace is a pendant necklace!

Medallion necklaces, on the other hand, are a cut above. While all medallion necklaces are pendants, the reverse isn’t true. That’s because a medallion is specifically a flattened disc of metal.

Nowadays, this definition has expanded to include other shapes. But either way, their solid metal design indicates quality. Whether they are made of gold, platinum, silver, or even plated, they are a pendant of the highest quality.

Medallion Necklace Origins

The word medallion comes from the word medal because in ancient times, that’s what they were! Medals won in warfare became family heirlooms, only growing in value.

Medallions could also be bought for a specific purpose, such as to commemorate an event or ward off evil spirits. These would be treasured just as much and passed down for generations.

Either way, medallions had an important meaning to their owners. 

Their iconic flat metal disc style has endured for thousands of years. While they’re now more affordable, the best medallion necklaces stay true to their origins by being of high quality.

How to Style Medallion Necklaces

Whether your medallion necklace holds a specific meaning or not, you need to know how to style it. Here’s our guide for wearing medallion necklaces in 2022.

Chain Length

When you buy a medallion, the chain is generally purchased separately. That affords the wearer complete control of the look. For the most versatile style, buy more than one chain so you can wear your medallion in different ways.

A short, almost choker-length chain is a very deliberate-looking choice. It works best with other harsh looks.

Wear it with black shirts, dresses with solid cuts, or winter outfits. Complement it with simple jewelry, such as earring studs and fine chain bracelets.

A middle-length chain is the most versatile look for work and play. It works just as well over a bodycon dress as under a denim jacket.

The key with a mid-length chain is to lean into the style you’re going for. Dress down your mid-length medallion necklace with casual bracelets and boho earrings. Or dress it up with jewelry accents in the same metal as your medallion.

Long chains can easily draw attention away from your medallion. If you wear solid neutral colors, it can be a tasteful casual choice, but won’t carry a formal outfit. Over colorful, loud, or patterned prints, it will likely get lost.

Either way, a long chain is not the best way to wear a medallion effortlessly. Stick to a short or mid-length chain to bring out its beauty.

How Many Medallions Should I Wear?

Medallions are usually worn one at a time. But the layered look is becoming more popular. How can you decide whether single or multiple medallions work best with your outfit?

Wear a single medallion necklace for a timeless, classy look. Its simple, central focus works just as well with a work blazer as it does a sundress. It always looks good.

The more difficult style to pull off is multiple necklaces. This can be worn in three ways:

• Multiple medallions on the same chain
• Layering several single-medallion necklaces
• Layering a medallion necklace with other chains

Wearing multiple necklaces in either way is a more casual look.

When on the same chain, multiple medallions can look very boho chic. Let them hang together in the center or choose a necklace with spaced-out medallions. Wear this style with summery outfits.

Layering several pendant chains is an even younger and more relaxed look. It’s the perfect way to elevate a swimsuit or simple white t-shirt.

Either way, multiple medallions look relaxed and effortless, but definitely casual. When dressing up, always stick to a single, stunning piece.

For Every Dress Code

As we’ve explained, medallion jewelry works with every style when done right. Here are some styling tips for every dress code.

For a very casual look, wear a medallion necklace over a patterned shirt. Accentuate with other eye-catching jewelry. Either layer multiple medallions or a single medallion necklace with another chain.

Dress this up to an evening outfit by swapping out the patterned prints for solid colors and simplifying the rest of your jewelry. For example, wear a gold medallion necklace over a black turtleneck or silver medallion jewelry over a white linen shirt.

The more relaxed the clothing, the more eclectic the necklace looks. So to formalize it, wear your medallion necklace with fitted clothing. For example, wear a mid-length chain over a tailored shirt or dress in neutral, jewel, or earthy tones.

Invest in Medallion Jewelry

A medallion necklace should be precious enough to be passed down but not unaffordable. At wehoautodetail, we specialize in pieces that elevate your personal brand without breaking the bank.

Our medallions come in silver and gold tones. Some are embellished with precious stones, and others have reversible designs!
