White Gold Pearl Jewelry

Pearl type, size, and gold karat drive the price. Saltwater Akoya and Tahitian pearls differ from freshwater, larger millimeter sizes cost more, and 14K differs from 10K. Added diamonds and longer or multi-strand designs also matter. Use the Price filter on this page to set a budget.

Pearl necklaces, bracelets, and diamond-accent rings lead the list. Freshwater station and strand necklaces and black Akoya bracelets come first, followed by many freshwater pearl rings, some with diamonds. Pearl stud earrings also appear among the top styles.

The pearls are cultured, meaning grown in oyster or mussel farms. Cultured pearls are real pearls. Many pearls in general are bleached, dyed, or polished to even out color, which is standard across the industry, so black shades may be color-treated.

Choose freshwater for variety and Akoya for a classic round shape. Freshwater pearls come in white and black and in many sizes. Akoya are saltwater pearls, often rounder with a bright luster. Browse pearl necklaces to compare both.

Wipe pearls with a soft cloth after wearing. Pearls are soft and react to perfume, hairspray, and acids, so put them on last and store them apart from harder gems. Avoid soaking them. See our jewelry care page for more tips.
