We use a variety of pearls in our pearl jewellery! The best way to be sure which pearl is used is to look at the product page description. Freshwater pearls are real pearls grown in freshwater mussels, they form lustrous pearls with and organic finish, working particularly well in pearls studs and huggie earrings due to their size. Baroque pearls are becoming increasingly popular, as they are naturally irregular in shape, making each piece unique, we use this in charm hoop earring and necklaces to make a sculptural modern statement. Shell pearls are made from polished shell core for a high-gloss finish that sits closer to a classic pearl look. All three types of pearls appear in this jewellery collection and work brilliantly with our emerald green CZ earrings for stunning contrast.
