When envisioning pearls, most picture their <\/span>classic round and smooth appearance. <\/span>However, <\/span>a more unconventional variety is on the rise: the baroque pearl. With their disti<\/span>nct shape, texture and style, baroque pearls offer a one-of-a-kind appeal, attracting those <\/span>looking to try something new in their jewelry wardrobe.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The term “baroque” itself is derived from the Portuguese word “barroco,” meaning “irregular pearl.” During the Baroque era (17th century), these <\/span>pearls were often used in more creative, innovative designs, reflecting the artistic freedom and flamboyance of the period. <\/span>The unconventional appearance of these pearls also aligns with the modern trend of celebrating imperfection and authenticity, making baroque pearl jewelry a meaningful choice for many.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#D6D6D6″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-22px|auto||auto||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Baroque pearls can originate from either freshwater or saltwater sources.\u00a0Baroque saltwater pearls are typically rarer and more expensive than baroque freshwater pearls.\u00a0They can be found as baroque Akoya pearls, baroque South Sea pearls and baroque Tahitian pearls. Other notable types include\u00a0drop pearls which resemble a teardrop shape and are often used for <\/span><\/span>baroque pearl drop earrings<\/span><\/span><\/a> or <\/span><\/span>baroque pearl pendants<\/span><\/span><\/a> due to their elongated form, and Keshi pearls, also known as poppy seed pearls, which form without a nucleus and are made solely of nacre, giving them a lustrous appearance.
