Can I layer pearl necklaces with other chains?

Yes. Pearl necklaces layer well with gold chains, delicate diamond pendants, and other birthstone necklaces. To avoid tangling, choose necklaces at different lengths — a 16-inch pearl pendant with an 18-inch chain, for example. Avoid storing them tangled as pearl's soft surface (Mohs 2.5 to 3) can scratch.

How should I store my pearl necklace?

Store pearl necklaces flat in a soft cloth pouch or lined jewelry box, away from harder gemstones that can scratch the surface. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture and damage the nacre over time. Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth after each wear before storing.
