Hi there! Welcome. You’re here because you want to show appreciation to the mothers in your life, be it your beloved partner, your darling mum, or perhaps yourself (hooray self-love!).
Nothing says thoughtful like a beautiful piece of jewellery, especially pearl jewellery for its classic, contemporary and natural beauty.
But where to start, how much to spend, and what can you get for your budget? Not to worry. Here’s where we can help. We’ve put together a practical guide, categorised by budget, to demystify the world of fine pearl jewellery. Let’s walk through it together.
Under $250
Generally speaking, for high quality pearls like those sold by designer labels but without the over-the-top price tag, the $250 mark will get you a nice foundational classic, or wardrobe staples.
For example, you can get Akoya pearl earring studs or pendants that are up to 9mm. But do note pearl prices also depends on its shape, lustre, hue/colour and surface.
If you like unique one-of-a-kind pieces, you’ll be able to get a baroque pearl necklace, up to the 20-30mm range. Click on the photos to learn more.
Under $500
In this price range, you’ll be able to get classy pieces with a contemporary flair, such as floating necklaces, South Sea pearls in drop/oval shape, baroque sea pearls with diamonds, etc. Perfect for modern, stylish mums.
Under $900
Moving further up, this range will see larger pearls like South Sea pearls around the 11mm size, perfectly round, and also Mabe pearls sized 15-16mm. You will also start seeing diamonds incorporated into designs.
Tahitian pearl earrings with the prized peacock green colour, excellent lustre and beautifully round shape (and diamonds!) is another gorgeous possibility in this range.
Perfect for spoiling the mum who never buys anything for herself.
Above $900
Now the sky is the limit. Many pieces in this range are special occasion pieces, extravagant in their designs. We’re talking a more-than-generous addition of diamonds. We’re talking eye-catchingly perfect South Sea pearls above 11mm. We’re talking beautifully shiny Akoya pearl strands.
Jewellery to make Mum feel like a queen.
