I looked into faux pearls to wear in summer, and then remembered I have some akoya strands - our family jeweler described them as being leftover mid-century akoya that were never sold, and the jewels he sold to my mother were appraised exactly as he described, so I think that's probably what they are. I never wear them because chokers aren't madly my thing, and especially with my neck in my 60s. But why should they just sit unworn?
So for the experts, two questions: Can I wear these and clean off the sunblock at night?
And how do I stretch the silk on the smaller one? I've had them for over 20 years and it's still kind of kinked. Maybe hang them in a steamy bathroom?
Many thanks!
P.S. Apologies for photograph quality - the cat decided that pearls were the world's best toy, so they were snapped quickly in the seconds I could keep them away from her!
