Pearl Quality & Authenticity
Are these natural pearls or artificial pearls? How can I tell the difference?
“All Miró pearls are naturally cultured pearls, formed organically by mollusks secreting nacre. You can observe the surface luster: natural pearls have subtle growth lines and an iridescent sheen, while artificial pearls appear dull and uniform. Additionally, rubbing two pearls together will produce a gritty sensation if they are natural, whereas artificial pearls feel smooth.”
Why do pearls have imperfections? Are flawless pearls the best?
“Pearls are nature’s creation, and minor imperfections are their unique signature. At Miró, we select pearls with exceptional luster and overtones, rather than blindly pursuing flawlessness—because we believe in the philosophy that authentic beauty surpasses artificial perfection.”
Sizing & Styling Tips
What pearl size is best for daily wear? Will pearls make me look older?
“6-8mm pearls are classic and versatile, perfect for everyday wear. To keep the look youthful, consider modern designs, such as geometric zircon-embellished chains. Alternatively, baroque pearls offer a fresh twist beyond traditional round styles.”
How do I choose the right necklace or earring length?
• Short necklaces (40-45cm) pair well with round-neck tops or off-shoulder styles.
• Opera-length necklaces (70-80cm) can be doubled for a layered effect, making them ideal for both office and casual settings.
Pricing & Value
Why do pearls of the same size have different prices?
“Pearl pricing is determined by luster, roundness, and nacre thickness. Higher-grade pearls exhibit a deep, reflective glow, smooth symmetry, and a robust nacre coating, ensuring both beauty and longevity.”
Other Common Questions
Are your pearls dyed? Will the color fade over time?
“Miró only offers natural pearl colors, such as golden South Sea pearls and black Tahitian pearls. Some pieces may have slight color enhancements, which are always clearly indicated, but we never use artificial dyeing techniques.”
What metals are used for the pearl settings? Will they cause allergies?
“Miró uses 14K gold and 925 sterling silver, both of which are hypoallergenic and resistant to tarnishing. Customers with sensitive skin can consult our customer service team for recommendations.”
