Common type of pearls that are used for pearl bracelets include freshwater, Akoya, Tahitian, and South Sea pearls.

When choosing a pearl bracelet, understanding the differences between these types can help you select the right style and quality that suits your personal taste and budget. Each type of pearl brings its unique beauty and characteristics, making pearl bracelets versatile and timeless accessories.

While you can wear pearl bracelets daily, it's best to avoid exposing it to perfumes, lotions, and harsh environments. Cleaning pearls requires a gentle approach to maintain their luster and prevent damage. To clean pearls, start by wiping them with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils and dirt. Prepare a solution of warm water and a few drops of mild soap, dampen a cloth in the solution, and gently wipe each pearl without submerging them. For stubborn dirt, use a soft-bristled toothbrush carefully. Rinse the pearls with a cloth dampened in clean water to remove any soap residue, then lay them flat on a soft cloth to air dry completely. Store pearls separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratching and avoid exposure to chemicals like perfumes or lotions. Regular cleaning will help maintain their luster.

Natural pearls form without human intervention, while cultured pearls are created with human assistance, usually by inserting a nucleus into an oyster.
