In terms of longevity, you have the right strands. They will all likely last you forever.
I suggest storing your pearls the bathroom. The humidity will do them good. I am not saying hang them next to the shower, but the overall humidity in the bathroom will do them good. A drawer or a satchel should suffice.
It goes without saying that chemicals need to be kept away from your pearls. But from the sound of it, you have no issues there. Also, you have quite a bit more leeway with the types of pearls you own. Most of the warning are imperative for Akoya, but strongly recommended for others.

Lastly, it is possible that the pearls will need to be cleaned someday. They may even need to be polished again to remove and film and bring out the sharp reflection. But that is about it!
