These Pearls Are Small But Mighty

Post by PinkDiamond »

There are some nice pearl pieces in this one that feature seed pearls, and others a bit larger, but not much so they're still small, and although the ring in the lead pic does nothing for me, I love the pink seed pearl necklace with the carved malachite frog, the earrings in the pic below it don't appeal to me, and it looks like some pearls are covered in gold which we've seen before but I didn't like them either. The puzzle ring below them is puzzling to me :lol: , and the double bracelet in the next shot is the favorite. The other ones are nice but the second favorite is the ring in the last pic. Check these out. ;)

"A classic strand, or maybe a simple pair of earrings, is likely the first thing that comes to mind when “pearl jewelry” is mentioned. But pearls are incredibly versatile, decorating jewels of all shapes and sizes.

Pearls themselves vary in size, and while seed pearls are frequently associated with antique pieces, smaller pearls—not all of which are officially considered seed pearls, due to their size—are getting loads of play in modern styles, too. These petite gems offer an exquisite contrast to the larger pearls making the rounds on the market of late.

You might look to diamonds to achieve a glittering accent that lights up a jewel, but pearls will add a luminous, polished effect, like a subtle, glowing highlight. A smart pair of hoop earrings, a vintage brooch, a delicate band—these are just some of the styles that benefit from the presence of pearls. Certain pieces featuring pearls may not even be categorized as “pearl jewelry”; they’re identified instead by their gold or another gem on them.

Below, see some newer jewelry that proves the might of the pearl, even at its smallest.
