Let's talk about PEARLS!

When designing Nudie Jewellery, every detail had to reflect our message—self-love, confidence, and celebrating natural beauty. That’s why freshwater pearls became a signature element of our collection.

Timeless yet modern, classic yet unique, pearls have been loved for centuries, passed down through generations as symbols of elegance, wisdom, and individuality. But what we love most? No two pearls are ever the same. And in a world that often pushes perfection, we think there’s nothing more beautiful than embracing what makes you, you.


The Timeless Beauty of Pearls

Pearls have been treasured in jewellery for thousands of years. From ancient royalty to modern icons, they’ve always symbolized beauty, strength, and sophistication.

  • Cleopatra was said to have crushed a pearl into her wine to prove its value.
  • Audrey Hepburn made pearls the epitome of effortless elegance in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s.’
  • Today, they’re having a huge comeback in contemporary jewellery, proving their appeal is truly timeless.

What makes pearls so special is their ability to transcend trends—worn by grandmothers, mothers, and daughters alike. Whether styled in a vintage, minimalist, or modern way, they carry a sense of heritage and personal expression.

Not All Pearls Are Created Equal

There are different types of pearls, each with its own charm:

  • Saltwater Pearls – Typically round and highly lustrous, found in the ocean and often used in traditional luxury jewellery.
  • Freshwater Pearls – Grown in rivers and lakes, these pearls form in irregular, organic shapes, making them truly one of a kind.
  • Baroque Pearls – A category of pearls that are entirely asymmetrical, embracing their natural, free-formed beauty.
  • Keshi Pearls – Small, unique pearls with high lustre, formed when no nucleus is implanted in the mollusk.

At Nudie Jewellery, we exclusively use freshwater pearls because of their natural variation, soft glow, and effortless elegance. Their imperfect shapes feel beautifully organic, just like the people who wear them.

Pearls & Nudie: A Perfect Match

Pearls and Nudie Jewellery share the same ethos: beauty in imperfection, confidence in individuality, and elegance without effort.

Here’s why freshwater pearls fit seamlessly into our brand:

  • Every pearl is one of a kind – Just like no two people are the same, no two pearls are identical. They’re a reminder that uniqueness is something to celebrate.
  • Minimalist elegance with meaning – Their soft glow and organic form fit into our aesthetic of understated luxury and effortless style.
  • A lasting connection across generations – Pearls have been worn and loved for centuries, making them more than just a fashion statement—they hold sentimental value, passed from one wearer to the next.
  • Designed for real life – We pair our pearls with 18k gold-plated brass for everyday luxury that lasts, whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual.

 

Wear Your Imperfections Like Pearls

In a world that’s obsessed with filters and flawless images, we believe in jewellery that says: you’re already radiant.

Our freshwater pearl pieces are more than just accessories—they’re little reminders to embrace the beauty in being yourself.
