How to Wear Your Pearls with Winter Whites

You do not need to be surrounded by snow to embrace the colour of winter this season. White is associated with purity, innocence, safety, spirituality, sincerity, softness, and perfection. But white can also be symbolic of power, elegance, and fearlessness. Whatever your preference, you can’t go wrong with white.  

Pearl jewellery is the perfect match for any white outfit. Here are some of our favourite styles for this season.

Sterling Silver and White

Silver made a splash on the runways this season. Think modern pleats, padding, and full-length silver outfits. Silver and pearls complement each other. Whether you go full-on silver with white accents, or white with silver accents, here are some jewelry pieces you will love.

White Feathers

Couture-like outfits embellished with feathers is a favourite this season. Think soft, stylish, and poised. Round off a long jacket or full-length dress covered in feathers with soft, but elegant jewellery pieces, like these two choices:

Denim & White

Denim is for every season – whether you go for a dark colour, traditional blue jeans, or crisp white pants, you’ll surely be on-style. Pair with a mid-length white jacket and accessorize with statement real pearl jewellery at Timeless Pearl

Cosy Knits

Family day? Staying in for a relaxing weekend? Then comfy knits are your answer. Opt for a modern twist – knits with fringes and asymmetric shapes will upgrade your wardrobe this season. Pair a jersey with tight-fitting pants or a full-length sweater dress with black boots and quirky accessories. These jewelry suggestions will do the trick: 

Fun Polka Dots

Is there a more fun print than polka dots? This season, keep your polka dots black and white, and pair with other patterns or solid colours. Cheer your outfit up with a splash of colour in your accessories, or add texture through your jewelry, like with these two suggestions below:

A white outfit with a touch of black in the form of accessories – a belt, jewelry, or a handbag – or a black outfit with peeps of white coming through, like a black coat with a crisp white shirt underneath, adds dimension to your outfit. These black pearl jewelry suggestions will do the job:

Pop Of Colour

Edison Pearls vs South Sea Pearls: The Four Main Differences

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed when trying to choose which pearl jewellery to buy online? There are so many questions. What is the difference between type A and type B? Why is the one more expensive than the other?

We’d like to clear up some of the confusion for you, which is why we are comparing two types of popular pearls that both come in large sizes: Edison pearls and South Sea pearls.

South Sea pearls are produced inside the Pinctada maxima mollusc, found throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They are cultivated primarily in Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Myanmar.

Edison pearls are produced inside mussels Timeless Pearl. They are cultivated primarily in China.Let’s look at the difference between these two pearl types in terms of their growing environment, colors, size, and price.

Edison Vs South Sea Pearls: Growing Environment

South Sea pearls are cultivated in the ocean, in other words in saltwater, while Edison pearls are freshwater pearls, grown in a river, lake, or stream.

Edison Vs South Sea Pearls: Colour Range

There are five different standard pearl colour series:

White series, which include pure white, milky white, silvery white, and porcelain white.

Yellow series, which include light yellow, golden, champagne, and orange.

Red series, which include pink, light rose, and light purple.Black series, which include black, blue-black, grey-black, brown-grey, purple-grey, brown-black, and iron-grey.

Other series, which include purple, brown, cyan, blue, red-purple, green-yellow, light blue, green, and bronze.

South Sea pearls only come in the white, yellow, and black colour series, while Edison pearls can fall into all pearl colour series. 

Ever wondered where pearls get their colors from? A number of factors determine the colors of the lustrous jewel produced.

Internal factors
Organic color pigments such as porphyry, carotenoid, and metal elements, and organic matter.

External factors

The body color of the mother-of-pearl, the color of the bead or tissue used for nucleation, microelements in the water, water temperature, water pH value, and composition concentrations which mainly depend on the cultivation technology.Edison pearls come in so many exquisite natural colors because the pearl mussels used for cultivation have undergone ten years of gene modification and development by researchers at the Zhejiang University. The mussels are then cultivated in a natural-flowing, mineral-rich aquatic environment for more than three years, which results in a spectrum of beautiful colours.

Edison Vs South Sea Pearls: Size

Edison pearls usually come in sizes larger than 11mm with the most common in the 11-12mm range.

Akoya and Tahitian pearls rarely reach these large diameters. But Australian White South Sea pearls and Golden South Sea pearls do reach substantial sizes, although, for the same price you can get bigger Edison pearls with superior luster.

Edison Vs South Sea Pearls: Price

Since Edison pearls are grown in freshwater it is easier to control and improve the water quality. South Sea pearls, on the other hand, are grown in the sea, so water quality is difficult to control, which makes the cultivation cost much higher. This makes a big difference to the pricing of these pearls. For the same quality, Edison pearls are much more affordable.

Which Pearls Will You Choose?

There are many reasons why you would select one type of pearl over another. It all depends on your preferences. Are you looking for something affordable? Do you want pearls that are rare, so the price you pay for them is irrelevant? Do you want a wider variety of colours to choose from? Do you choose pearl jewellery solely based on whether you like the design or not? Do you like large pearls, or do you prefer something more petite?
