Pearl Jewellery: What to Know Before You Buy

Coco Pearl Earrings

Pearls are grown, not mined. They are soft — 2.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale — and their surface is nacre, which is dissolved by acid.

Looking after it

Put pearls on last, after perfume and hairspray, and take them off first. Wipe with a damp cloth, never in an ultrasonic cleaner.

What we set it in

Our pearl pieces run from £1 to £320. The whole selection is in the pearl section.

How we make and mark it

Every piece here is made for ONLYWAY JEWELRY in London and, where the law requires it, hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The hallmark is not decoration: it is an independent test of the metal, struck by an assay office rather than by the maker. What the marks mean.

The price on the page is the price you pay. Delivery within the United Kingdom is tracked and included, and you have thirty days to send a piece back. Delivery and returns.

Questions

How hard is pearl?

They are soft — 2

How should I clean it?

Put pearls on last, after perfume and hairspray, and take them off first. Wipe with a damp cloth, never in an ultrasonic cleaner.

Can I wear it every day?

Anything at 7 or above on the Mohs scale takes daily wear well. Softer stones, pearls above all, prefer to be worn for an evening rather than through a working week.
