Singapore is actually very humid. If I don't wear them I think the luster keeps better in Singapore than in Australia. However, wearing them is another story due to the body oils. I also use alot of sunscreen on my neck and have a hard time getting it off, so I never wear my pearls the entire day. Even with precious stones you get the muck accumulating around the settings. My jeweller in HK used to say you can soak diamond jewellery in almost boiling water and dry it with a hair-dryer to get the oils/cosmetic off. But not to be used for pearls or colored stones unfortunately.
