I washed a strand of very old pearls, that had not seen fresh air in about fifty years, and my dumbs self, inexperienced, soaked them in a gentle cleaning solution for abiut five minutes. Upon removal i then proceeded to rinse them and attempt to polish with a soft buffing rag. Of course the nacre was insanely vulnerable and deteriorated in front of my eyes. A lot of the pearls are irredeemable, but some only have slight damage, is there any way i can protect the surviving pearls? Even possibly restore them? Thanks in advance
