Our Collection of Pearl and Diamond Earrings
Pearl earrings have a softness to the way light moves across a pearl's surface, a glow rather than a flash, and that quality translates into something that speaks maturity; on accentuating in an understated way, rather than being overly flashy. Our pearl and diamond earrings pair that warmth with precise diamond accents in 18ct white, yellow gold and rose gold, or platinum setting, creating pieces that feel considered now and will still feel right, many years from now.
We tend to favour pearls with a strong lustre and vivid spectrum in overtone, set in proportions that sit well on the ear without obscuring its brilliant colours. Stud earrings, with this in mind, offer a minimal, everyday polish, while pearl drop earrings bring movement and a touch more sense for occasion; both moods live comfortably in this collection. If you'd like to compare pearl tones and styles in person, our Melbourne and Geelong showrooms are a good place to start.
FAQ's
Studs tend to be the easiest choice for daily wear, though drops can work well too, depending on lifestyle and comfort. Pearls are organic gems, softer than harder stones, so a 'last on, first off' habit helps. Putting them on after the final touches in your routine to get ready for the day, like your perfume and hairspray, is generally the advice we like to give, in addition to removing them before bed.
Heat, steam, and soap residue are common culprits for dulling lustre over time. If your pearls are accidentally exposed to water, pat them dry with a soft cloth and let them air before storing. Our pearl collection page covers this in more detail, alongside other jewellery you might be interested in.
South Sea pearls are the largest of the three, with a satin, almost liquid lustre.
Akoya pearls run smaller with a sharper, mirror-like shine, and pair beautifully with diamond settings.
Freshwater pearls offer the broadest range of shapes and sizes at a more accessible price point. Each type creates a different effect in the ear, and we're happy to walk you through the differences in person.
Diamonds add light-catching detail, while the pearl provides the glow around the piece. Thinking about how much sparkle suits your day-to-day can make a huge difference in your end-choice; a smaller diamond halo keeps the focus on the pearl, while a more prominent setting lifts the piece into statement territory. Face shape and necklines play a role too. Our full earring collection shows the range of diamond-accent proportions available.
Studs are a safer choice: classic, a little more minimalist in design, and less prone to getting caught in your hair. Drops make a more expressive gift with movement and presence, suited to those who might be in a time in their lives for occasion pieces. If you're unsure of the wearer's style, our team can help you narrow it down.
Keep them in a soft pouch, separate from harder gems that could scratch the surface. A soft damp cloth is enough for regular cleaning; mild soap only if needed, then dry fully. For pearl diamond earrings with accent settings, periodic checks on claw security are worth scheduling with your jeweller.
