Pearl Antique and Vintage Jewelry
Pearl jewelry has long been revered as a pinnacle of understated elegance, unique among gemstones because it is born from a living organism rather than forged in the earth. Traditionally symbolizing purity, wisdom, and transformation, pearls are formed when a mollusk coats an irritant with layers of luminous nacre, resulting in a deep, inner glow known as luster.
Today, designers frequently showcase organic, asymmetrical baroque pearls and moody Tahitian varieties in peacock greens and silvers, often pairing them with mixed metals or chunky "liquid gold" settings. Whether worn as simple studs or layered in bold, multi-strand necklaces, pearl jewelry continues to evolve, bridging the gap between heirloom sophistication and contemporary self-expression.
