"Elf" of Knowledge - Pearl Care


DIG, our "elf" of knowledge, likes to drop a few "pearls" of wisdom on the occasion (I promise that's the last play on words!). Mostly how to care for your jewelry. 
Today's "Elf" of knoweledge: never let your pearls get wet! Originally pearls were strung using silk. Today we use nylon. Nylon is more durable and doesn’t stretch out as quickly as silk. Regardless, if the string gets wet it’s more likely to rot which means the string will break. If any pearls are lost it will be difficult to try and match a replacement.
