Will re-hydrate your saltwater pearls naturally, however the saltwater can dry out the thread holding your pearls together. Swimming in treated-water (chlorine) will significantly damage your pearls.

Remove your jewellery by its setting and store pieces lying flat (a necklace’s silk string will stretch if left hanging).

Look for stretching, discoloration or fraying in the thread holding your pearls together. If the fine coiled wire (the gimp) between your necklace’s clasp and the string is discoloured or green, the string has rotten underneath. Get your pearls restrung, making your pearl design last a lifetime.
