Pearls are timeless, but buying designer pearl jewelry? It’s easy to get dazzled by shine and overlook details that make a piece actually worth your investment. Let’s debunk common myths to save you from buyer’s remorse.
Nope! For everyday wear, 6-8mm Akoya pearls hit the sweet spot—elegant enough for errands, but not heavy enough to weigh down your neck or get tangled in hair. Save the 10mm+ pearls for special events!
Don’t fall for the “all pearls are white” trap! Our designer collection includes:
- Blush-pink freshwater pearls
- Warm champagne Akoyas
- Iridescent black Tahitian pearls
These hues add edge to jeans, dresses, and everything in between.
A shoddy setting ruins even the prettiest pearls. Look for:
- Hypoallergenic sterling silver (great for sensitive skin)
- 14k gold-plated settings (boosts pearl luster)
We use both in our designs to keep comfort and style in check.
Clasps matter—especially for pearl bracelets! Magnetic clasps are game-changers if you’re always rushing out the door (no more fumbling with tiny latches).
Pearls’ magic is in their glow! Dull, flat pearls won’t stand out—our designer pieces have a soft, iridescent luster (hold them up to light: you should see subtle color shifts).
Round pearls are classic, but don’t sleep on oval or baroque pearls! Oval freshwater pearls flatter necklines (great for V-necks), while baroque pearls add a boho-chic vibe to casual looks.
“Perfect” pearls are rare (and pricey!). Our designer jewelry uses “slightly imperfect” pearls (tiny surface dots) that are barely visible—they add character and keep prices affordable, without sacrificing beauty.
Thin nacre chips easily! Our design team sources pearls with thick, luminous nacre—so your pearl ring stays perfect, even with daily wear.
