Golden Pearl Rings

Frequently Asked Question

1. What are Golden Pearls?

   Golden Pearls or widely regarded as South Sea Pearls are the variety of Pearls that are native to the gold-lipped oyster (Pinctada Maxima). Hence, they emanate a warm, satiny gold hue.

2. Can I wash my hands with a Pearl Ring on?

   Since it’s better to be safe than sorry, we recommend taking off your Golden Pearl Ring while washing your hands to avoid over exposure to water and harmful chemicals from soaps/detergents.

3. Can a Golden Pearl Ring be worn everyday?

   For those of you who don’t know, Golden Pearls strike a mere hardness rating of 2.5 to 4 out of 10 on the Mohs Scale. So to no surprise, they’re more vulnerable to scratching, chipping, and breakages.

   Thus, it is best to reserve them for special occasions. However, if you’re planning on wearing them everyday, make sure to abide by all the professionally prescribed to keep the wear and tear of everyday wear from getting the better of it.

4. How do you care for a Golden Pearl Ring?

   Caring for a Golden Pearl Ring isn’t as difficult as it may sound. Here is a little series of tips and tricks you need to swear by:

   • Being a relatively softer gemstone, Pearl can easily be scratched by harder gemstones. To keep that risk at bay, make sure to store your Golden sparkler separately (preferably in a soft-lined jewelry box). Remember to avoid storing it an airtight package, heated rooms, safety deposit box since Pearls require moisture to keep themselves from cracking.

   • Don’t forget to take it off before indulging in strenuous physical activities like gardening, cooking, washing dishes, etc. to avoid any accidental mishaps.

   • Never expose them to cosmetic chemicals, acids, and alkaline since they can cause significant damage to the luster of your Pearl. For that, make sure to slip on your ring only once you have applied your makeup, hairsprays, and other products.

   • Take it off before taking a shower or going for a swim to avoid exposure with soaps, shampoos, and chlorine.

   • Wipe it every once in a while with a soft, damp cleaning cloth gently.

   • Make sure to take it to a jewelry professional for regular inspection, maintenance, and cleaning.

5. Who should wear Golden Pearl?

   Ruled by the moon, wearing a Golden Pearl Ring is astrologically recommended to those native to the zodiac signs of Aries, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.

6. How can I authenticate the authenticity of a Golden Pearl Ring?

   Real Golden Pearls stand out for their rich luster, small blemishes or irregularities (that are absolutely natural given their organic formation), slight overtones, and drill holes with sharp edges. So these feature should work as the bar against which you judge the authenticity of your Pearl. Besides that, always make sure that your Pearl has been certified by a reputable gemological laboratory (which implies that it surpasses the quality/authenticity check).
