Pearl Earrings

The Romans originally used two words for Pearls. Unio, meaning unique and margaritae, meaning something cherished or of unusual value. While buying pearl earrings look for pearls that are mostly round, with high to medium luster, good uniformity and minimal surface spotting.

Pearl earrings are the all time classic choice. Pearl earrings are well suited for every occasion. For classic, quality pearl earrings, go for Akoya pearls. For more a affordable gift, choose freshwater pearls. Exotic, naturally black Tahitian pearls present dramatic color and impressive size. And for something extraordinary, give silver-white South Sea pearls.
Earrings made up of solid nacre, cultured freshwater pearls are perfectly suited to be worn everyday. They are durable, beautiful, and go well with any outfit for any occasion.

Both akoya and freshwater pearl earrings are appropriate for any style and all ages. Akoya pearls were the first to be cultured by Kokichi Mikimoto nearly 100 years ago and continue to be the preferred pearl choice today. They are perfectly round with mirror like luster and subtle overtones.

Cultured Tahitian pearl earrings make a luxurious statement. Tahitian pearls are known for their rainbow of natural colors and glorious irridescence.
Cultured south sea pearls are the rarest, most valuable cultured pearls. Earrings with these pearls looks strikingly elegant, yet understated!
