Choosing your size
There's no wrong size, only the one that feels like you. A few things that help:
- Buying your first pearls? 6–7 mm studs go with everything, from jeans to sarees.
- Petite features or short hair? 5–7 mm studs or short drops keep the look balanced.
- Long neck or hair up? Dangles and 9 mm+ pearls show beautifully.
- Pairing with a pearl necklace? Choose earrings a size close to your necklace pearls for a matched set.
- Buying for a child? 4–5 mm studs are light and comfortable for all-day wear.
