What size Tahitian pearl works best for stud earrings?
For stud earrings, 7-9mm is the most-requested size for daily wear, 10-11mm for statement occasions. Larger sizes (12mm+) suit evening dramatic styling.
How do you match pearl pairs for stud earrings?
Each pair is hand-matched on four axes: size (within 0.25mm), shape (round/near-round/drop matched to identical category), color overtone (must read identically in indoor and daylight), and luster grade. AAA pairs maintain consistency across all four.

18K gold (yellow, white, or rose) is the premium choice. 925 sterling silver works well for peacock-toned pearls. White gold and platinum complement cool tones; yellow gold complements warm tones.
