Pearls are natural jewels, so they require special care from us. Their appearance can be damaged by, among others, contact with many chemicals found in cleaning products, perfumes and cosmetics.

Classic white pearls, which are currently in the greatest demand on the market, are obtained through physical and chemical processing of cream pearls.
