How to sterilize pearl earrings?

Wipe the just posts with rubbing alcohol?

You can buy jewelry cleaner just for pearls. Here’s some information on how to care for your pearls. http://jewelry.about.com/cs/pearls/a/cleaning_pearls.htm

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.
