Pearls and Sterling Silver??

I'm not sure if they will discolor but they might get silver tarnish on them. The problem is that silver tarnishes and needs to be cleaned but pearls are soft and delicate. I prefer to use gold filled with pearls.

When the sterling tarnishes, some of that can work onto the pearls. I use JewelBrite to clean my pearl & silver jewelry. It won't harm your pearls.

Thanks! That is what I need to know. I will go a head and string it up and take a picture to share.

i crocheted a beatiful neckpiece, a close choker with potato pearls and loved it so much. it tarnished and without thinking, submerged it into silver cleaner. when silver came out clean, pearls came out chalk. looked just like pieces of chalk.

it sat on the counter for a few days, i just couldn't even touch it. we rescued a pup, and as a joke, i put the silver choker on him, brutus the short, a border terrier with short bow'd legs. it was on loose, there was no worry about being too tight. within 4 days, however our ridgeback karat, and schipperke sid, took exception to the flashy jewelry the newbie wore and started trying to help him out of it. i stepped in and removed it. as i was ready to throw it away, i noticed the pearls/chalk/were back to pearls. beautiful luster...

so, either i have a magic dog and everyone can send me their broken pearls .....or

the oil from his coat is what had a hand in bringing back the shine.

i prefer the magic. wait, maybe i prefer the pearls

LOL, Pat! Glad to see you posting!! That's good to know about the pearls - I'm afraid I would have done something drastic before they were re-transformed to lustrous pearls!
