What are baroque pearls?

A baroque pearl is any pearl with an irregular, non-spherical shape. Because the shape forms naturally, no two baroque pearls are the same — each catches the light differently.

Why designers love them

Round pearls read as classic; baroque pearls read as sculptural. Their uneven surface gives each piece its own character, which is why independent designers often set them in hand-formed metal — like the Baroque Petal Drop Earrings and the Grand Baroque Pearl Drops.

Will my piece look exactly like the photo?

Close, but not identical. Natural pearls vary in shape and surface, and our pieces are made in small batches and finished by hand — so yours will be one of a kind.

Frequently asked

Are baroque pearls real pearls?

Yes. Baroque describes the shape, not the origin — a baroque pearl is a genuine pearl with an irregular, non-spherical form.

Why does each baroque pearl look different?

The shape forms naturally, so every pearl has its own outline and surface. That variation is what makes each piece one of a kind.

How do I care for baroque pearls?

The same as other pearls: put them on last, wipe with a soft dry cloth after wearing, and store them separately.
