Removable Silver-White or Peacock Baroque Pearl Drop Extensions, Wear in Front or Behind the Ear, Buy with Studs or Alone

These freshwater baroque pearl extensions can be worn with your studs (pearl, diamond or otherwise), or with Daily Pearls studs as shown in the pictures.

The extension slides onto the stud post, and when worn behind the ear, is a boho twist on Dior's double-pearl earrings. When the extension is worn in front, they're a modern update to the formal double-pearl drop style.

The twist connecting the two pearls, and the textured and wildly-shaped baroque pearls keep the look current, so these will work with jeans, or with your wedding dress.

Pink, grey and peacock extensions are easy to pair with your own studs of any kind.

White drops are hard to match virtually, since white pearls can be many different shades. So if you are looking for white extensions to wear with white studs, we recommend buying both together so we can ensure a good match.

If requested, your purchase will come with a gift bag and tissue paper.

To keep your pearls looking their best, they should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Avoid getting perfume, hairspray, lotion, or any other chemical on them, and wipe them off right away if you do. Keep them out of water, where hair products, chlorine, or salt water could dull or discolour them. Water can also weaken the bond between the pearl and the post.

As popular as pearls are, the range of varieties and prices can get confusing. Here's what you need to know:

1) Almost every real pearl on today's market, regardless of variety, is “cultured.” A cultured pearl is grown in an ocean or a lake, and develops around a nucleus or irritant which is placed in an oyster or mollusk. The final product is created by nature, albeit with man’s help.

2) “Natural” pearls are pearls that have been found in oysters. Natural pearls found today sell for tens of thousands of dollars. Many natural pearls on the market are in antique pieces, and come with gemological x-ray certification.

3) The highest-priced cultured pearls are cultured in seawater, and there are three main varieties: Akoya, Tahitian, and South Sea. Akoya pearls, grown off the coast of Japan, were the first saltwater pearls to be cultured, and became the "classic" pearls your grandmother might have worn. Tahitian pearls, which are grown around Tahiti, grow naturally in shades of grey and black, and were developed in the 1970s. South Sea pearls, grown in the Southern Hemisphere, were developed more recently, and are considered by many to be the most desirable pearls.

4) Daily Pearls makes jewellery from cultured freshwater pearls, which are the most affordable variety of cultured pearls. China produces most of the world's freshwater pearls, many of which are unusually shaped, or "baroque."

5) Plastic or glass imitations of cultured pearls are called “simulated” pearls. You can tell the difference between cultured and simulated pearls by touching one to the top of your bottom teeth. If it feels gritty, the pearl is real. If it feels like plastic or glass, it is not a cultured pearl.
