Perle Drop EARRINGS

The Perle Drop Earrings hang a single round pearl from a fine teardrop-shaped post, so the pearl sits slightly forward of the ear rather than flat against it. It's the classic pearl earring with the formality taken out — the frame is light enough that the pearl looks like it's floating.

Made from premium stainless steel in warm Gold or cool Silver, finished with a pearl. They fall 2.6 cm and weigh 5.5 g a pair. The steel is tarnish-free and hypoallergenic; the pearl, being a natural material, prefers to stay dry.

How to Style It

Worn with sunglasses and a plain jacket, as they're styled in the photographs, these read as street style rather than occasion wear — that's the whole trick. For an evening, pair with the Whisper Earrings' softer sibling energy or keep the neckline bare and add the Double Take Ring. Against dark colours the pearl carries the whole look; against cream it becomes quiet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear them in the shower or the sea?
Better not. The steel is waterproof, but pearls are natural and lose their lustre with repeated contact with water, chlorine, perfume and hairspray. Put them on last and take them off first.

Are they too formal for daytime?
Not the way they're cut. The frame is fine and the drop is short, which keeps them closer to everyday than to occasion wear.

How do I clean them?
Wipe the pearl gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, let it dry fully, and store the pair flat in a soft pouch away from direct heat.
