Pearl Earrings Guide

Pearl earrings are classy, timeless, and a favorite among many women. Pearls are perfect gifts for June birthdays.  They symbolize virtue, purity, and modesty. Furthermore, pearls have been used for decoration for thousands of years.  Having an idea what to look for when purchasing pearl earrings is essential to making the right purchase.

Pearl Earrings

SHAPE AND SIZE

Natural round pearls are very rare.  Perfectly round earrings are quite expensive for natural pearls. The size of the pearls should be proportionate to your face size and shape. Pearl stud earrings are a classic jewel that can be worn on all occasions.  Pearl dangling earrings tend to be worn during evenings.  When searching for pearl earrings, one should look at how well the pearls are matched.

PEARL LUSTER

This is the most important feature of a pearl and should be your primary concern.  Luster considers how reflective the surface is, not how shiny the pearl is. The higher the luster, the more the pearl will have reflective qualities, like a mirror, and have the appearance of glowing.

PEARL SURFACE

Pearls can often be wrinkly, bumpy, or even scratched on the surface.  Be sure to check your pearls carefully and ensure a smooth and unblemished surface.
