| Hi Opera,
As I mentioned before, pearl rings and bracelets should not be worn to any activities more physically demanding than a cocktail party. Minor scuffs can be buffed out with a sunshine cloth. I have recently seen some South Sea PPBs that were coated in Mary's Glass (a mineral lacquer). Although that is really a deceptive treatment, it does protect the pearl and can be reapplied. My general recommendation is go for solid-nacre cultured pearls rather than PPBs and keep a sunshine cloth in your house.
