Pearl Earrings with an Historic Twist

We hope you
enjoyed our short history of earrings.
We found it really interesting to delve into history and uncover the
popularity of pearl earrings from Ancient Greece, long before the famous
Vermeer painting, Girl with a Pearl Earring. This just goes to show that pearls have been
significant in the history of human adornment as far back as records go and
they are certainly no less popular now than in the past.
If you want
to recreate the famous Vermeer look, then our Twinkle Pearls earrings are
ideal. Stunning oval pearls hang from
cubic zirconia adorned studs, so you get that movement and drop that is so
important for this iconic look. The
teardrop shape has nods to vintage style, while still being modern enough for a
fast paced office or a night out on the town.
These earrings would look fantastic with rich blues and mustard yellows,
as depicted in the painting.
Our Affinity pearl
drop earrings are also perfect for paying homage to the infamous image;
however, with a longer drop you get a bit more movement. These earrings are perfect for people with
longer hair which may cover most of the ear when styled, as you can still see
the pearl shining away.
Our Fantasy,
Harmony, Romance and Destiny pearl earrings all use sterling silver to surround
the pearl, sometimes as a frame like in the Harmony or Romance pairs, and
sometimes almost like a swing for the pearl to balance on. This design style makes the stone the star of
the show and allows for a little movement to bring out the best of the pearls.
If you're
after a modern style, then our Tassel pearl earrings are ideal. The contemporary twist of the dangling chains
works really well as something a bit different and the matching necklace really
draws attention to the design. These
earrings look fantastic with a sleek, simple ponytail, which mirrors the flow
of the chains from the pearls.
We also have
several options for stud earrings, some which are plain and let the pearl shine
for itself, and others which combine the glittery qualities of cubic zirconia
to bounce light around the pearl to really bring out the lustre.
Our pearl
earrings use freshwater pearls, sustainably grown for quality and to preserve
the environment, and they are simple gorgeous with a beautiful lustre and a
sheen that we think makes these freshwater pearls incredible for jewellery
making. We hope you have found a pair
you really love, either for yourself or as a gift, and when you wear our pearl
earrings you'll feel just as stunning and glamorous as the Girl with a Pearl
Earring.
