Button Pearl Collection | SY Perlas

At SY Perlas we combine the impeccable aesthetics of fine jewelry with maximum comfort. Button pearls are the best-kept secret for those who love wearing large pearls on their ears without giving up comfort. These exceptional authentic cultured pearls are characterized by a perfectly rounded, domed front and a back flat. This unique anatomy allows the jewel to rest flush against the skin, preventing it from "dangling" or tilting forward. Combined with the security and shine of our precious metals such as 18k White Gold, 925 Sterling Silver or 18k Gold, button pearls are your best allies for effortless everyday elegance.

Features of Our Button Pearls

• Perfect ergonomics: With a flat back, they sit securely on the earlobe. They are the ultimate solution for voluminous earrings that, if completely spherical, would be heavy or hang unattractively.
• Maximum visual impact: From the front, they offer the same optical illusion of symmetry and grandeur as spherical pearls, showing off impeccable nacre.
• Variety of origins: We can find beautiful button pearls in Freshwater pearls always with an intense, flattering lustre/shine. See button pearl earrings

Frequently Asked Questions About Button Pearls

Are button pearls authentic or have they been cut?

At SY Perlas button pearls are 100% organic and natural. Our authentic cultured pearls in button format acquire this flat shape naturally inside the oyster (often because they grow very close to the mollusk shell). They are never artificially cut or sanded.

Why would I choose a button pearl instead of a round one for my earrings?

Mainly because of its visual stability and lightness. A large button pearl earring (for example, 9mm or 10mm) will stay perfectly close and secure on your earlobe. A round pearl of the same size has more volume at the back and therefore weighs more.

Do they have the same shine as perfect spheres?

Yes, their surface quality is identical. The domed front of a button pearl reflects light exactly the same as its spherical counterpart. In fact, when mounted firmly against the skin in 18k White Gold, 925 Sterling Silver or 18k Gold, its exposed surface receives and reflects light spectacularly. Learn how to care for your pearls
