>      This restores the oil that your body puts on the pearls 

    This is an old wive's tale that I thought had been vanquished.  The
    oils (and acids) in your skin do not enhance pearls in any way.  They
    actually ruin them, thereby decreasing the value.  Adding olive oil
    is not going to help them in any way.
