Will my pearls turn yellow with age? If so, how I can return them to their original color?

It is normal if your pearl jewelry turn yellow with age. Even the most lustrous pearls don't keep their glow forever. Going yellow is part of a pearl's aging process - they go naturally yellow and lose their luster after several decades. This happens because the nacre secreted by oysters is composed of aragonite, an unstable mineral that will eventually break down into calcite. As this happens, the pearls turn yellow. If your pearl jewelries start going yellow, dipping them in hydrochloric acid may restore their color and luster. This will dissolve the outer calcite layer, exposing the aragonite underneath. However, if your pearls have been yellow for a long time, it may be difficult or impossible to restore their original color. There are many things you should know: Pearls are the last thing you wear when you leave the house in the morning and the first thing you take of when you get home at night. Store your pearls in a moist environment to keep their luster. Separate pearls from other pieces of jewelry to avoid scratching them. Basic pearl maintenance includes cleaning your pearls and having your pearl strand necklace restrung regularly. If you wear your pearl strand often, have it restrung annually. However, the best way to care for your pearls is to wear them.
