Pearl Earrings

Pearl Earrings

Thomas Sabo pearl earrings pair freshwater pearls with sterling silver or gold-toned settings for a soft, classic look. They sit comfortably between everyday and dressy, which makes them an easy pair to reach for at work or for an occasion. Styles run from simple studs to drops and hoops.

Pearl studs are the understated everyday option and suit almost any outfit. Drop and hoop styles with pearls add movement and read a little dressier, and designs that mix pearls with stones or charms give a more modern take on a traditional piece. A single pearl stud is about as versatile as earrings get.

Looking after pearls

Pearls are softer than metal, so a few habits help:

• Put earrings on after perfume, makeup and hairspray.
• Wipe them with a soft damp cloth instead of chemical cleaners.
• Take them out before swimming and sleeping.

Store pearl earrings on their own so harder jewellery doesn't scratch them, and keep them somewhere that isn't too hot or dry.

Choosing a pearl size

For earrings you'll wear often, a smaller pearl stud (around 6–8mm) is comfortable and sits neatly under hair. Larger pearls and drop styles make more of a statement and suit dressier occasions. Round pearls feel classic, while slightly irregular baroque shapes read more modern. If it's a first pearl piece or a gift, a small to mid round stud is the easy, versatile pick that won't date and suits day or evening wear.

Pearl earrings make a classic gift with no sizing to worry about, which suits weddings, graduations and milestone birthdays especially well. They work across a wide range of ages, so they're a safe choice when you're not sure of someone's exact style, and they pair easily with a matching pearl pendant if you want to give a set.
