Materials and Settings: Cultured Freshwater Pearl and Sterling Silver Excellence

Our freshwater pearl earrings are crafted from high-quality materials to ensure lasting beauty and durability:

• Cultured Freshwater Pearl: Most freshwater pearls are solid nacre and tissue-nucleated, making them especially durable and resistant to chipping. They typically exhibit a soft, satiny glow with diffused reflections, offering a different allure compared to the sharp shine of Akoya pearls.

• Sterling Silver and Gold Settings: Our earrings feature 925 silver plated posts and gold options, providing a classic and versatile look that complements the lustrous pearls.

• Cubic Zirconia and Crystal Accents: For added sparkle, some designs incorporate diamon-flash cubic zirconia and crystal, offering a brilliant fire similar to diamonds at a more accessible price point.

Our pieces range from simple silver studs priced around £26 (reduced from £46) to more elaborate designer drop earrings, catering to various budgets and preferences.

Pearl Quality and Sources: Commitment to Excellence

We source our pearls from reputable suppliers committed to sustainability and quality. Our freshwater pearls come in a variety of natural shades, including white, cream, pink, peach, and lavender. Darker hues are often achieved through color treatments to expand your style options.

Pearl quality is assessed based on luster, surface quality, and shape, with high-quality freshwater pearls often graded as AAAA or AAA. White freshwater pearls, in particular, are prized for their clear, pure appearance and radiant luster. Each pearl is unique, ensuring that your earrings are one-of-a-kind treasures.

Freshwater pearls are valued for their wide variety of natural colors and shapes, exceptional durability, and accessible price points.

Care and Maintenance: How to Keep Your Freshwater Pearl Earrings Radiant

Proper care is essential to maintain the delicate beauty of your freshwater pearl earrings. Follow these expert tips to preserve their luster and longevity:

• Store pearls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or high heat to prevent cracking or discoloration.

• Store pearl earrings in a dedicated soft-lined pouch or a separate compartment in a jewellery box to prevent scratches.

• Avoid storing pearls in airtight plastic bags, as pearls need to breathe to prevent dehydration.

• Wipe your pearl earrings gently with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth after every use to remove oils, sweat, and makeup.

• For a deeper clean, use a soft cloth dipped in lukewarm water mixed with a tiny amount of mild, pH-neutral soap.

• Never submerge pearl earrings in water or wear them in the shower, pool, or sea, as chlorine, salt, and soaps can damage the nacre and weaken adhesives.

• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners, ammonia, bleach, or abrasive cloths, which can permanently damage the pearl surface.

• Seek professional cleaning once a year to ensure the settings are secure and your earrings remain in pristine condition.

• Follow the "Last On, First Off" rule: apply hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics before putting on your earrings to avoid chemical exposure.

• Pearls benefit from the moisture in the air and natural oils from the skin, which help prevent dehydration and cracking.

• Freshwater pearl earrings require a gentle, consistent routine to maintain their delicate nacre and prevent dulling.

By following these guidelines, your freshwater pearl earrings will continue to shine beautifully for years to come.
