Golden pearls bring warm color to classic pearl jewelry. They can be worn as a statement on their own or paired with diamonds and white or yellow gold for contrast.
Featured pearl jewelry
- Golden pearl bracelet: 8–9 mm round pearls with a 14-karat gold lobster clasp
- Golden South Sea pearl pendant: 10 mm pearl set in white gold with 0.05 carats of diamond accents
Pearl color can range from white and cream to pink, gray, black, yellow, and gold. The appearance of a pearl is also influenced by luster, surface quality, shape, size, and how well multiple pearls match in a strand or bracelet.
Choosing pearl jewelry
When comparing pieces, look at the pearl’s color and luster in person and consider how the jewelry will be worn. A bracelet or strand highlights how well the pearls match, while a pendant or ring can feature a single pearl as the focal point.

Care for golden pearls
Pearls are softer than many gemstones. Put them on after cosmetics, perfume, and hairspray; wipe them gently with a soft cloth after wear; and store them separately from harder jewelry that could scratch the surface. Ask a jeweler before using any mechanical or chemical cleaner.
