Perfect Pearl Earrings

Whilst it is said that fashions come and go few items have remained fashionable as long as Pearl Earrings. We know that as early as 2300 BC Chinese Royalty received pearls as gifts, and that the Egyptians and Romans considered pearls to be the ultimate status symbol. So valuable were they that it is believed that the Roman General Vitelliusa sold one of his mother’s pearl earrings to fund a military campaign. In Europe the 15th and 16th centuries were known as the ‘Pearl Age’, a time when the wealthy wore pearl earrings, bracelets and necklaces. For current jewellery aficionados Vermeer’s oil painting from 1665, “Girl with A Pearl Earring”, which spawned a modern book and film, is a prominent reminder of the longevity of the fashion for pearl earrings. At Pearl Jewellery Online we believe in making choosing a Pearl Earring easy by following these simple steps: First decide upon the ‘look’ you are seeking to achieve, this will determine the style of Pearl Earring you are seeking: Pearl Stud Earrings, Pearl Drop Earrings or Pearl Hoop Earrings. Whilst white is the most common Pearl Earring colour choice, a particular look might require a natural pink, lavender or black pearl, a range of dyed pearl colours are also available; we love cranberry red pearls!Determine your budget, this will guide the choice of precious metal as silver is a lot less expensive than gold (we do not recommend base metals or alloys as some people have allergic reactions). Your budget may also guide the shape of Pearl, as round pearls are far rarer and hence more expensive, than the more common button pearls.Be clear about the size of pearl you are seeking, and how it will look in the ear. Clearly size of pearl also impacts budget, as small pearls are less expensive, whereas a large, blemish-free perfectly round pearl is much rarer and hence costs a lot more. At Pearl Jewellery Online we work directly with leading Pearl Farms to source the best quality pearls and the best prices. We ensure that our round pearls are blemish free and have a beautiful lustre, and that the pearls in a pair of earrings are perfectly matched. We also carefully monitor not only the pearl earrings being worn on the catwalk to accessorize the outfits from global designers, but also the pearl earrings worn by celebrities in the media. Our recent additions to our Pearl Earring catalogue reflect these current trends: Large Baroque Pearl Earrings, Beaded Pearl Gold Hoop Earrings, Pearl & Diamond Stud Earrings, (we use faux diamond CZs, and even Long Drop Coin Pearl Earrings, a style of earring, which we spotted being worn by the presenter Emily Maitlis on the BBC’s Newsnight programme. We check the media daily to see what the celebrities who love pearls are wearing, and over recent months we’ve seen their numbers increase, frequent wearers of stylish Pearl Earrings include: Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, Rihanna, Gigi Hadid, Rita Ora, Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry, Zendaya, Celine Dion and many more.
