Hi Wendy,

Restore, no. At least not that I am aware of. Just remind owners of proper care and storage.

Majorica pearls are still around and being sold. They probably are holding up better than the akoyas! The care recommendations for them are the same as "real" pearls. They will be perfectly round and all the exact same color. Although I have seen a few baroque sets recently. They are still popular because one can purchase a SS size strand for $200-$300 or so. They do not have the depth and lustre of real pearls.

so many pearls, so little time
