Choosing pearl earrings: the simple guide
Pearl studs are the most-worn piece of pearl jewellery in the world, and for good reason: one pearl, one post, nothing to overthink — and they go with everything from a t-shirt to a wedding dress.
Size on the ear
6–7 mm reads subtle and office-perfect; 7.5–8.5 mm gets noticed without trying; 9 mm and up is a deliberate statement. Drops and hoops add movement and catch the light beautifully — choose them when you want the earrings to be the outfit's focal point.
Match the metal to the jewellery you already wear daily — yellow gold warms, white gold cools — and you are done. Genuine cultured pearls, honest prices, shipped from Montréal.
Frequently asked questions
What size pearl studs for everyday wear?
7–8 mm is the sweet spot: visible, elegant, never too much. Below that reads delicate; above it reads deliberately bold.
Are pearl earrings secure enough for daily wear?
Yes, with well-fitted quality backs. Just take them off for sport and sleep, and keep perfume and hairspray away from the pearls.
What about sensitive ears?
Choose solid gold posts over plated metals — it is the gentlest option for all-day wear.
