How to sterilize pearl earrings?
I received some pearl earrings as a gift, and I want to sterilize the metal posts attached to them. When I need to clean my other, non-pearl earrings, I immerse them in rubbing alcohol, but I’ve heard that it can damage pearls. I have looked online for tips, but haven’t found any. Can anyone help?

Wipe the just posts with rubbing alcohol?
I use alcohol on a cotton swab to clean the metal parts and just a mild soap solution to wipe the pearls.I’ve never had a problem doing this.One of my neclaces is 15 years old and still looks and beautiful as the day I got it :)
Uh, sterilise pearl earrings…
Unless he was sterile in the first place, I don’t think there’s much more you can do.
They’ll be dead in a few days, so that should probably do the trick.
Whatever you do, don’t use vinegar. Unless you don’t want your pearls anymore.
