A Solitaire Pearl Pendant is a subtly elegant reminder of the beauty Mother Nature alone can create. An ideal gift for every woman who loves beauty, from that "Something New" for the bride to be, to Graduation Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries and so much more, a classic pearl solitaire pendant is the perfect way to tell her how very much you care without saying a word.
Simple and elegant, a classic Solitaire Pearl Pendant needs no other adornment to shine with its subtle organic beauty. A Solitaire Pendant features a single pearl mounted on our classic Split Bale, Icicle or new “Ballerina” pendant designs – many of our Pearl Solitaire Pendant designs are exclusive to PurePearls.com and can be found nowhere else online. Each of our pearl pendants is hand-made using “AAA Quality Only” pearls, so you are guaranteed a stunning pearl with the highest rate of luster, smooth shape and cleanest surfaces. Visit our Insider’s Guide to Pearl Grading to see what our AAA Quality pearls look like when they arrive at your home. Pure offers a pendant for every taste and style – you can shop from the rainbow of pearl colors available from the timelessly classic white to black, pink and even blue.
PurePearls.com is pleased to offer an extensive selection of Solitaires in every major pearl type including Japanese Akoya pearls, exotic Black Tahitians, White and Golden South Sea pearls and fine, durable Freshwater pearls, including our coveted and rare Metallic pearl pendants. We travel the world to source our cultured pearls directly from the pearl farms overseas, and are able to skip out on the usual middleman markups that you’d traditionally find at a Big Box retailer. The result is gorgeous pearl jewelry, at a fraction of the price you can find anywhere else in the world. Every pearl pendant is created by hand, to order, at our Los Angeles, California workshop. Our long-standing commitment to quality craftsmanship and stunning pearls means that you can confidently wear your new pearl pendant for a lifetime.
