The Legacy of Pearl in Jewelry Design
The pearl has been synonymous with ladylike elegance since the Tudor period — learn what to look for when shopping for vintage and antique pearl jewelry as well as how to tell the origin of a pearl with our handy primer.
Every woman at some point in her life desires a simple strand of pearls. They are elegant, timeless, versatile — just ask Coco Chanel or Jacqueline Kennedy — and valuable. In 1917, Pierre Cartier famously traded a double-strand of natural pearls for a Fifth Avenue mansion, the Cartier brand’s flagship store ever since. And if you were born in the beginning of summer, pearl is the June birthstone.
It is possible to tell where a pearl originated from its appearance. Akoyas are usually round and white — the classic pearl, if you will. South Sea pearls are normally larger and vary in color; orangey yellow ones are not uncommon. Tahitian pearls are mostly black but can also be gray or brown, and between the Akoya and the South Sea varieties in size. Freshwater pearls, or Orientals, run the gamut in terms of color and size, but in shape, they tend to resemble Rice Krispies. Another important distinction is a round pearl versus a baroque pearl. A round pearl is self-explanatory, but there are two types of baroque pearls: symmetrical and asymmetrical. In general, the symmetrical variation commands a higher valuation. Within a strand of pearls, uniformity is prized — the more the individual pearls resemble one another, the more valuable the strand.
According to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the earliest recorded mention of a pearl was in 2206 BC by a Chinese historian. Centuries later, Christopher Columbus made it a point to visit pearl fisheries during his 15th-century exploration of the Caribbean. Since the late-19th century, the Japanese have been at the forefront of cultivating pearls, when jeweler Kokichi Mikimoto successfully cultured the world’s first pearl in 1893.

Questions About Estate Pearl Jewelry
- Is estate jewelry real?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024Whether estate jewelry is real varies. The term “estate jewelry” describes earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, brooches and other pieces that become available for sale as a part of a person's estate after they die. Because people collect many kinds of jewelry, both fine jewelry — featuring precious metals and genuine gemstones — and costume jewelry — made of less expensive materials — can be part of an estate and therefore classified as estate jewelry. Find a diverse assortment of jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Why is it called estate jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024Why it is called estate jewelry relates to the origin of pieces that fall under this category of adornment. Estate jewelry refers to pieces previously owned by someone else that became available for purchase as a part of an auction or sale after their death. An estate is the collective name for all the property and assets that an individual leaves to their heirs. Thus, estate jewelry gets its name from the fact that it is a part of a person's estate. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024To tell if estate jewelry is real, first look for hallmarks. Pieces crafted out of sterling silver, platinum, gold and other precious metals usually feature markings to identify their materials. You can find images of these markings on trusted online resources and compare them to your pieces. Maker's marks can also be a good indication. Some jewelry makers specialize in costume jewelry, which is less likely to feature genuine materials, while others produce fine jewelry, which is usually made of real gemstones and precious metals. If you still have questions about your pieces, a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can assist you. Shop a large collection of antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Is estate jewelry worth buying?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024Yes, estate jewelry can be worth buying. At estate sales, purchasing vintage and antique jewelry may be possible for less than you'd expect to pay elsewhere. In addition, many people appreciate the one-of-a-kind character of estate pieces. When it comes to buying estate jewelry, it’s important to patronize only reputable sources. This alone significantly diminishes the potential for mishap. Beyond buying from a reliable source, it’s important to get as much verifiable information about the accessory as possible. Buyers should keep in mind, however, that the value of any investment is subject to fluctuation, and any investment decisions should be made according to the guidance of a financial advisor. At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. If you’re looking for jewelry, a diverse assortment of antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry can be found on 1stDibs from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Pearl jewelry can last for generations as long as it is properly cared for. Avoid letting your pearl jewelry come into contact with lotions, perfumes or hair products. Always handle it with clean hands and clean it gently with a soft cloth occasionally. Avoid wearing it with other necklaces that can scratch it. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage and new pearl jewelry.
- Is Honora jewelry real pearl?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024Yes, Honora jewelry is real pearl. The American jewelry maker produces pieces out of freshwater cultured pearls. A cultured pearl is a real pearl, but it isn't the same as a natural pearl, which mollusks produce on their own. Instead, cultured pearls develop inside mollusks with the help of some human intervention. Naturally occurring pearls are actually very rare, so many high-end jewelry companies utilize cultured pearls in the same way that Honora does. Shop a variety of Honora pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Seed pearls are small pearls that get their name from their diminutive size. They’re sometimes used in jewelry today but were most popular during the 18th and 19th centuries. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of antique and modern seed pearl jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022All Mikimoto pearl jewelry is marked with either ‘Mikimoto’ or their ‘M’ logo. The pearls used by Mikimoto are exceptional in quality, with lustrous, thick nacre, beautifully round shape and no color imperfections. Shop a wide range of professionally authenticated Mikimoto pieces from top boutiques on 1stDibs.
