How can I tell if they’re genuine pearl stud earring?
First off, when purchasing from J.R. Dunn all of our pearls for sale are real pearl earrings, so there’s no need to guess. However, ‘Real’ and Natural are two different things. The designers we carry offer cultured pearls which are natural, but assisted by inserting a nucleus into the pearl to start the process. So while they’re real, they’re not unassisted or 100% naturally produced.
Are South Sea Pearls (Black or Gold) natural in color?
Yes. The color of the pearl derives from the type of oyster that the pearl was produced in. These are commonly called black-lipped or gold-lipped oysters. These types of oysters are typically found in the South Sea region; although many refer to black pearls as Tahitian, the Oysters can be found in various regions and not just Tahiti.
Why are larger pearl studs typically priced higher?
Simply, the larger the pearl, the longer it took for the oyster to produce the pearl. For this reason, it is very rare for the quality standards of designers like Mikimoto to be met in larger pearls. Therefore a pair of larger white south sea pearl earrings, white pearl earrings or any of the other south sea variety will always be valued higher.
Can I shower in pearl earrings?
While if you forget to take them off once, it may not damage them it is very likely to. We HIGHLY suggest taking off any pearl jewelry before showering or exposing them to chemicals such as chlorine that may be found in pool water or jewelry cleaner. The reason for this is that Pearls are porous and will absorb things such as chemicals, perfumes or soaps which can not only ruin the integrity of the natural material, but can leave a strong odor as well.
