FAQ


“Be Beautiful for Yourself Only” — Your Expert Guide

✨ Products & Quality

1. Are your pearls real?
Yes. All of our pearls are genuine cultured pearls. Each piece is selected by experts with over 20 years of experience, ensuring natural luster and authenticity.

2. How can I tell if a pearl is real or fake online?
Look for luster depth and natural surface imperfections. Real pearls have a unique weight and cool temperature. We use high-definition media to show these authentic details.

3. Are cultured pearls considered “real”?
Yes. Cultured pearls are 100% real, grown inside living oysters. They are not imitation, shell, or plastic beads.

4. How is pearl quality graded (A–AAA)?
We use the AAA-A system. AAA is the highest grade for luster and surface. At Mirenpearl, luster is our priority—it's the soul of the pearl.

5. How important is luster compared to size?
Luster is paramount. A smaller pearl with intense luster is far more valuable and beautiful than a large, dull one.

6. What is S925 sterling silver?
S925 is a high-quality alloy with 92.5% pure silver. It is nickel-free, hypoallergenic, and perfect for sensitive skin.

7. Why does my Baroque pearl look different from the photo?
Baroque pearls are "Nature's Art"—each is unique. This individuality means your jewelry is the only one of its kind in the world.

📍 Origins & Varieties

8. Where do your pearls come from?
From two legendary origins: Beihai (Hepu), the historic home of saltwater pearls, and Zhejiang, the global hub for premium freshwater pearls.

9. What is the difference between Freshwater and Saltwater pearls?
Freshwater pearls are durable and varied. Saltwater pearls (Akoya, South Sea) offer a mirror-like luster and perfect roundness, making them rarer.

10. Why are Saltwater pearls (Akoya/South Sea) more expensive?
Oysters grow only one saltwater pearl at a time over years, while freshwater mussels produce many. This scarcity drives their higher value.

11. Are pearls a good investment?
Fine pearls hold value well, but the best investment is the confidence and joy they bring to your daily life.

12. Do men wear pearls today?
Absolutely. Modern trends show a rise in men's pearl jewelry, from minimalist strands to bold, mixed-media designs.

🌿 Care &Maintenance

13. Can I wear my pearls in the shower?
No. Pearls dislike chemicals. Follow the rule: Last On, First Off. Avoid water, perfume, and hairspray.

14. How should I store my jewelry?
In a soft pouch or box, away from hard items. Keeping them dry and protected preserves their natural luster.

15. Will my pearls turn yellow over time?
Only if they dehydrate or touch chemicals. Regular wear and breathable storage keep them glowing for generations.

16. Can I wear pearls to the gym or while sleeping?
Not recommended. Sweat and friction can dull the luster or damage the surface over time.

17. What pearl size is best for work vs formal events?
5-7mm is ideal for professional office elegance. 8mm+ is perfect for statement looks and formal occasions.

18. How long will my Mirenpearl jewelry last?
With proper care, they are designed to last for generations as cherished family heirlooms.
