Most cultured pearl earrings are tiny, attractive, and definitely quite expensive. If you're planning to add cultured pearl earrings to your jewelry collection, here are several tips which can help you buy the ideal pair for you and preserve its beauty for a long time.
Where to Buy Cultured Pearl Earrings
Cultured pearl earrings are sold online and in land-based stores. There are pros and cons to buying cultured pearl earrings either online or in person.
Online Auctions Cultured pearl earrings auctioned off online may sometimes be great bargain finds because of its very low price tag, but you have to make sure that you're buying authentic cultured pearl earrings and that it gets delivered to you safely.
Online Jewelry Shopping Sites Prices vary greatly when it comes to cultured pearl earrings sold on online jewelry shopping sites, but once again your biggest problem is making sure that it reaches you safely and free of damage.
Live Auctions Cultured pearl earrings sold in live auctions are usually incredibly rare, beautiful, and definitely expensive.
Land-Based Jewelry Stores Cultured pearl earrings sold in land-based jewelry stores generally have the greatest selection to offer but they tend to be more expensively priced as well.
Wholesale Jewelry Markets It might take you a long time before you can find one, but when you do, you can certainly take advantage of exceptionally low rates as long as you're willing to buy cultured pearl earrings wholesale.
How to Buy Cultured Pearl Earrings
The first question you have to ask yourself is whether you wish for freshwater or saltwater cultured pearl earrings. Then determine if it's important to you as well to know where the pearls have been harvested. Lastly, base your decision on its luster, texture, shape, and overall appearance. Once you've made a selection, consult with the jewelry seller and see if you can get a discount.
How to Care for Your Cultured Pearl Earrings
Cultured pearl earrings are usually small in size so it's terribly easy to lose them. As such, make sure that you place them back on their original or usual casing immediately after you take them off.
If you're going to apply make up, perfume, skincare or any hair cosmetic product, it's best that you do so before putting on your cultured pearl earrings. Cultured pearl earrings are especially vulnerable to damage from toxic chemicals, chemicals which are found in abundance in the items specified above.
Although cultured pearl earrings are better off than pearl necklaces and bracelets because the ears don't sweat as much as arms and the neck do, there's still every possibility that your cultured pearl earrings will suffer from discoloration due to extreme exposure to the natural acidity of your skin. For that matter, it's important that you don't wear your cultured pearl earrings in exceptionally hot or humid places.
Also, wipe your ears in the rest room after a few hours to prevent it from affecting your cultured pearl earrings.
On cleaning your cultured pearl earrings, never use any jewel cleaner or cleaning solution that contains strong chemicals because these can once again affect the appearance of your jewelry. Steam cleaning is neither an advisable cleaning method for pearl jewelry regardless of whether it's cultured or synthetic.
Only use jewelry cleaners exclusively manufactured for pearl jewelry cleaning and apply it with the use of any soft fabric. You can use it slightly damp with water if you wish. Be very gentle when brushing and polishing your cultured pearl earrings as a vigorous rubbing can not only cause it to lose its color and luster but may cause it to tear apart as well.
Once you're done cleaning your cultured pearl earrings, let them dry off completely before keeping them away. Do not use a hair blower to facilitate the drying process.
Always keep your cultured pearl earrings away from other jewelries because its texture is not as tough as other gems like diamonds, opals, or crystals. It's also better to place them inside jewelry pouches instead of jewelry boxes.
Cultured pearl earrings can last several lifetimes if you take special care for it. Clean your cultured pearl earrings regularly, and take care of them well so that you can give them as a gift to your children or even grandchildren and start a new family tradition.

Please, I Need help with my Girlfriend
By: omgitistotallymatt | 21-11-2007
If you have read my earlier threads, i have been talking about my girlfriend and I "touching" so to speak. I have talked with her and found it is against her personal morals to do this sort of thing. While i respect this decision, and I have asked multiple times if it was something else (only to get the reply no), could it be she is insecure, or is she really not ready? Also, being a teenager, I do not totally comprehend the opposite sex, but the only reason why I bring this up is that I have an urge telling me deep down that this is the right thing to do. I know that I should not totally trust it, but I was wondering, could she have the same feeling in her, she is jsut hiding/repressing it?Above all this, I see her this weekend, and personally, I would like to show her a good time, but in order to do this I feel I will have to get her into that "sensual, hot" mood, if you catch my drift, does anyone have any ideas on that.If anyone can help me on this, I am very thankful. I know she loves me, and I love her back, but this urge is starting to kill me a bit inside, so I want to fix it now. Should I ask her if she has the same feelings inside, I have asked her many awkward ?'s and she seems to be ok with them. Thanks for any answers.
