How Do You Store Your Pearls? Show Us!

I have used olive oil but just a drop

I wouldn't use olive oil, after time it becomes tacky. I used olive oil to lightly coat my wood nativity scene and it does eventually yellow a bit and get tacky. Mineral oil food grade might be a better option.

Thank you for some very useful hints for storing to preserve and enjoy our pearls. Given that pearls love to breathe and be in the fresh air rather than boxed up and also for easy display and access, I have draped a few of my strands over well padded hangers in my wardrobe as pictured - a mixed size pinkish white Akoya of opera length, Tahitian strand and station necklace, south sea near round. Purchased from Aquarian Pearls by David Norman, and Pearls of Tahiti by Nick Kwan.

I’ve been making custom pouches out of old scrap fabrics - primarily linen lined with either silk or linen.
