Pearl Earrings

Pearl earrings are very versatile and can be worn on their own or with other pearl and non-pearl jewelry pieces.  Pearl earrings are a popular gift simply by themselves.  It is recommended however that if you purchase a necklace, or a matching necklace and bracelet, that you also purchase the matching earrings, so that all pieces are completely coordinated.

The size and color of the pearl earrings should be based on personal taste.  As a general guideline, the size of the pearls in earrings should be the same size or even slightly larger than the pearls on a matching necklace, unless the necklace pearl size is 12mm or more.  Also, the millimeter size of the pearl will vary based on the ear size and body size of the woman.  A petite woman will typically prefer smaller pearl earrings, whereas a larger framed woman may prefer larger pearl earrings.

There are two types of pearl earrings: stud earrings and dangling earrings.  Stud earrings are universal and used for casual, business, and formal occasions.  White pearl stud earrings are also an essential set of jewelry for any woman’s wardrobe.  The most common size of pearl stud earrings is 7 to 8mm.  When selecting stud pearl earrings, look for very round, clean, lustrous pearls on white or yellow gold posts with secure backings.

Dangling pearl earrings are generally used for dressy or formal occasions.  They are versatile like stud pearl earrings in that they compliment any neckline or face shape.  Dangling pearl earrings, also called pearl drop earrings or teardrop earrings, come in a variety of lengths and longer length earrings are generally selected for taller women with long hair.  When buying dangling earrings, the same guidelines of selecting very round, clean, and lustrous pearls applies, but now with the length in mind.
