    I can't imagine that TSP would be safe for pearls.  The purpose of
    TSP commercially is to make painted surfaces dull, like a fine
    sanding, so a new coat of paint will stick better.  Certainly that is
    not what anyone would want to happen with a pearl. 

    I've not attempted it, but then I've never wanted dull pearls.
