Greta Earrings

Introducing the Greta earrings - beautiful Baroque freshwater pearl tear drop statement earrings. Stunning white pearls with a hint of rainbow tone, an excellent lustre and a Baroque, glossy surface. 

Freshwater pearls are known for their flawless round shapes, immaculate surface and irresistible luster - but these gems of the sea come in many different shapes - roundish, teardrop, irregular nuggets, elongated and many more - all one of a kind, and each one perfectly imperfect. 

Baroque pearls are these gems of the sea that are not perfectly round, they come in irregular shapes and have uneven surfaces, but they are just as mesmerizing as their symmetrical counterparts. 

The term ‘baroque’ finds its origins in the Portuguese word for ‘imperfect’ – ‘barocco’ in Portuguese. The term baroque was first used towards the end of the 17^th century, to describe a pearl that is imperfect in shape. 

Baroque pearls gained a lot of popularity during the Renaissance years when jewellers valued the gems for their unique and organic beauty. 

Note: these pieces are handcrafted with freshwater pearls, and will have variations in size, shape and colour due to their natural nature, making each earring and pearl truly unique.
