How to Choose Pearl Jewellery for Your Partner or Mum: A 60-Second Guide

Buying jewellery for someone else can feel a little tricky, especially if you're unsure what she likes. Here are three simple things we always suggest looking at before choosing a pearl gift.

  1. Check the pearl size.
    Does she usually wear small, delicate earrings or larger statement pieces? If she prefers understated jewellery, smaller pearl studs are a lovely choice. If she enjoys something that stands out, look at larger pearls, drop earrings or statement necklaces.
  2. Look at the metal she wears.
    Have a peek at her everyday jewellery. Does she usually wear sterling silver, yellow gold or rose gold? Choosing a similar finish makes it easier to find something she'll wear regularly.
  3. Think about her personal style.
    Does she prefer classic and simple jewellery, or does she enjoy something a little more unusual? White freshwater pearls are timeless, naturally pink pearls add a soft touch of colour, and baroque and keshi pearls are perfect for someone who loves organic shapes.

Our biggest tip is to take a little look at her jewellery box before you buy. It can tell you a lot!

Will Your Pearl Jewellery Gift Arrive Before Christmas?

Christmas is always a busy time for Australia Post, so we recommend ordering your pearl jewellery gifts early to give them the best chance of arriving in time.
