One of which is a collection of freshwater pearls incorporated in most of our accessories. 

We believe that every Modern Princess and Queen needs this to express themselves and to make a statement.

Other than that, a freshwater pearl is a classic gem that symbolizes many things — humility, purity, loyalty, just to name some. It can also turn an ordinary outfit into a classy attire in an instant.

To some, it represents new beginnings so if you’re planning to showcase a new version of you, wearing hair accessories, necklaces, or even earrings made of a freshwater pearl is a good idea.

What Is A Freshwater Pearl?

As the name suggests, this type of pearl comes from freshwater mussels that are grown in freshwater rivers, lakes, and ponds. Although white is the common color for this gem, it can also be seen in various sizes, shapes, and pastel colors.

This kind of pears is not nucleated, thus not perfectly round in shape. 

The thought of each freshwater pearl coming different sizes makes it more interesting as each is unique and one-of-a-kind.

Another lovely quality of a freshwater pearl is its durability. Given the right care and protection, they can last for a long time. This makes it a perfect heirloom gift for your future generation since these pearls can retain its sheen and color for many years to come.

That being said, it’s just right to know the tips and tricks on how to care for pearl accessories so it can maintain its luster and beauty for a long, long time.

How To Take Care Of Freshwater Pearl Jewelry?

• Planning to wear your pearl on a special occasion? Be sure to put it on after you are done with all your preparations. Freshwater pearls should avoid having contact with lotion, cream, or other skin care products, perfume, and even hairspray.
• To maintain luster and smoothness, store your pearls in a separate box or container. This will help reduce, if not avoid scratches and damages. 

Here at Sienna Likes To Party, we provide a separate pouch for each jewelry to help our luxury accessories maintain its beauty and longevity.

• Before storing your pearls, use a soft cloth to wipe dirt, dust, and/or stain.
• Show some love to your pearls by wearing them as often as you can. This will keep them from drying out as the natural oil from your skin moisturizes them. The air and moisture also hydrate them, keeping them beautiful and moisturized.
