Our curated selection of pearl necklaces for Valentine’s Day have all been chosen for their classic beauty, elegant presentation and bold, statement-style layouts. Whether you’re loved one prefers the timeless appeal and mirror-sharp luster of Japanese Akoya pearls, or the colorful array of overtones present in a black Tahitian pearl necklace to the candy-colored sweetness of a Pink or Multi-Color Freshwater pearl necklace, Pure Pearls has something for everyone to love. Each of our pearl necklaces are handcrafted here at our Los Angeles, CA workshop, and are finished with a 14K Gold clasp of your choice. This made-for-you approach transforms a pearl necklace for Valentine’s Day into more than jewelry. It becomes a one-of-a-kind expression of devotion, romance, and your unique love story, meant to be cherished for a lifetime.
Throughout history, pearls have symbolized love, devotion, romance and purity for cultures around the world, making these luminous gemstones one of the perfect gift ideas for a Valentine’s Day present. From the quintessential pair of white pearl stud earrings to a dazzling pearl and diamond pendant, elegant single and double-strand pearl necklaces to a chic and stylish pearl bracelet, the Valentine’s Day gift ideas from Pure Pearls offers pearls for every heart and romance. Elegant yet deeply sentimental, our pearl jewelry becomes more than a gift: they become a keepsake that is imbued with emotion, memory, and love, long after Valentine’s Day has passed, and becomes a treasure to cherish forever.
Around the world, pearls have symbolized purity, love and devotion ever since the pearls were first plucked from the sea. Prized throughout history for their timeless elegance, pearl jewelry is imbued with history and romance, making pearls the ideal Valentine’s Day gift.
The most romantic pearl jewelry styles for a perfect Valentine’s Day gift depend upon your loved one’s personal style and aesthetic. If she loves clean and minimal lines, opt for a classic white pearl necklace or pair of pearl stud earrings - the Japanese Akoya is perfect for this. If she likes a bit more glitz, then a pearl and diamond pendant or pair of pearl and diamond halo earrings is the way to go.
While diamonds have a definite glamour factor - especially in modern times - pearls throughout history have been the gemstone that’s symbolized love, romance, devotion and purity, making them the perfect choice for a romantic Valentine’s Day gift. Each pearl is a completely unique, one-of-a-kind creation from the ocean, making your gift incredibly personal and filled with true meaning.
Our most popular and best-selling pearls are timeless, classic choices such as the single-strand pearl necklace or a pair of iconic pearl stud earrings. The 7.0-8.0mm size range is considered the most versatile choice for a wide range of ages, builds and occasions, while 6.0-7.0mm sizes are perfect for petites, and larger 8.0-9.0mm and 9.0-10.0mm pearl sizes make a bigger statement.
