That doesn’t mean that jewelry designers aren’t coming up with unique ways to use these lovely natural semi-precious gems!

Elyria Sterling is one of those design houses that keeps pearl jewelry fresh, modern and very wearable.  They’ve paired baroque fresh-water pearls and sterling with conflict-free white sapphires in their latest “Temple Street” collection.

Here are a few of my favorites from the new collection:

The “Peak” pendant features a 12mm Baroque Chinese fresh-water pearl, hung on a solid sterling silver drop, accented with a conflict-free white sapphire.

If you prefer bigger earrings and smaller pearls, the “Wyndham Street” earrings are the pair for you!  The hoop earrings are sterling silver, 2 inches across and set with round 3mm pearls in sterling silver bezels.

The unique “SoHo” ring is made from four square sterling silver bands, set with an 8mm baroque pearl and two sapphires.

Elegant Pearl Jewelry by Elyria Sterling

It’s made from hand-painted & hand-sculpted Lucite, Swarovski crystal and gray pearls.  The details and delicacy just blow me away – it’s worthwhile taking a look at the zoomed in image on the website!
