Put jewelry on after lotions, perfume, and hair products; remove before swimming, showering, or workouts. Keep it dry. Sweat, saltwater, chlorine, and chemicals can dull pearls and wear gold overlay. Wipe after wear. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils from the pearls and metal. Storage. Store flat or hanging in a pouch, away from other pieces to avoid scratches on the pearls. Cleaning. For metal, use mild soap and lukewarm water; pat dry completely. Do not use ultrasonic cleaners, dips, or abrasive polishes—they can damage pearls and the gold overlay on the recycled strings. Avoid bending. Guitar-string bars are sturdy but can kink if forced. Handle gently. Wear beauty with purpose—your necklace funds healing in Hawaiʻi and sustains opportunity in Nashville.
