How to Care for Pearls:
Pearls, unlike other gemstones, are very delicate.
We suggest you store your pearl jewelries in a pouch
away from sharp angles of diamonds and other
gemstones.
After wearing your pearl jewelry, always wipe your
pearl with a soft cloth dampened from time to time
in lightly salted water. This is to protect your pearl
necklace from harmful acids, which it absorbs when
worn due to skin perspiration, soap, powder, perfume
and other elements. It is unavoidable that a pearl
necklace for example will be in close contact with
the woman's skin. However, if you do not take care of
your pearl jewelry, over time the pearl will not only
lose its luster, but might become barrel-shaped.
Also, remember that pearls and heat do not mix.
Heat can turn pearls brown or dry them out and
make them crack. Dry air can also damage pearls.
You can also use a drop of olive oil to help
maintain a pearl's luster. After you wear pearls, just
pour a drop of olive oil on a soft cloth or chamois
and then left to dry. This will prevent dirt from
accumulating and keep perspiration, which is
slightly acidic, from eating away at the pearl nacre.
You can also use jewelry cleaners labeled as safe
for pearls.

A Little History

Best Buddies & Pearls is the brainchild of an enterprising young woman named Marjoleine Gramsma. She bought the souvenir shop five years ago. She turned
it from a tourist trinket treasure trove into one of the best-selling shops of exquisite pearl jewelry, unique souvenirs, and swim-wear on Bonaire. Together with her
staff Mala, Jacqueline, and Mary; they provide an exquisite experience for tourists and locals alike looking for something unique, memorable, and of great
quality. MG  stands for Marjoleine Gramsma
