About mabé pearls
A mabé is a dome-shaped pearl, grown against the inside of the shell rather than free inside the oyster, which gives it that flat back and rounded, generous face, ideal for earrings and larger pieces. The soft, creamy lustre here is the classic pearl look, a warm white with gentle flashes of rose and silver across the surface. Like all pearls it's organic and softer than most stones, so it asks for a little care: keep it away from perfume, hairspray and household chemicals, put the earrings on after those rather than before, and wipe them with a soft cloth rather than soaking. Looked after kindly, pearls last a lifetime and well beyond.

Hardness: around 2.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale, softer than most gems
Birthstone: June

Come and see them in the cabinet at Craigieburn. Pearl lustre is one of those things a photo never quite captures. And if you'd like your own version, a different pearl or setting, that's exactly what we do: start with a Bespoke Jewellery Design Consultation.
