Safety when wearing jewelry is important for both those who use it and those who manufacture and sell it. Jewelry made of pearls set in silver and gold requires special care to maintain its beautiful appearance and not pose a health risk. Here are some rules to follow:

• Avoid contact of jewelry with chemicals, such as detergents, perfumes, cosmetics or chlorinated water (such as in swimming pools). These substances can weaken the structure of the pearls, cause them to tarnish and accelerate the corrosion of the metal.

• Remove jewelry during physical activity - preferably in a soft case or special box lined with fabric to avoid scratches and accidental damage. Pearls are particularly sensitive to scratches, so they should not come into contact with other hard objects.

• Store your jewelry properly - playing sports, housework or other activities can expose pearls to scratches and damage. Delicate settings in silver or gold can become deformed with stronger impacts.

• The jewelry is not suitable for children under the age of 3 due to the risk of swallowing small parts. Children over the age of 3 can only wear jewelry under adult supervision, and it is best avoided while sleeping, playing or other activities that may lead to accidental ingestion or injury.

• Choose jewelry suitable for allergy sufferers - some people may react allergically to metal admixtures in gold and silver.

• Regularly check the condition of your jewelry - make sure the pearls are well set and the clasps of necklaces and bracelets work properly. Loose settings can cause pearls to be lost, and damaged clasps can lead to lost jewelry.

Following these rules will allow you to enjoy your jewelry for years to come, keeping it beautiful and safe for use in accordance with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on General Product Safety (GPRS).
