Subtle Earrings | Akoya Pearl
The Subtle earrings pay exquisite homage to the most timeless jewelry, with the star role of the quintessential white pearl: the Japanese Akoya. They are a proposal of refined sophistication, ideal for those seeking a legendary jewel with a fluid, contemporary spirit, capable of framing the face with incomparable luminosity.
Their delicate setting, outlined by an elegant 18 karat yellow or white gold hook, streamlines the profile and offers an exceptionally comfortable fit. This subtle design allows the pearl to dance lightly, multiplying its dazzling reflections with the cadence of every movement and adapting effortlessly to any occasion, from morning to night.
This is where our signature as specialists lies. For this model, we have selected high-quality Akoya pearls in a size of 8 to 8.5 mm. Famous for their extremely compact nacre, these perfectly spherical pearls boast their characteristic "mirror-like" luster and elegant iridescence. Thanks to the purity of the setting, light envelops the pearl completely, revealing a crisp, spectacular shine that makes these earrings an essential classic.
Jewelry details
Quality of the pearls
What does the quality of our pearls mean?
Unlike diamonds, there is no universal standard in the world of pearls. This allows many brands to use marketing terms like "AAAA" or "AAAAA" for pearls we wouldn’t even accept for sale.
At SY Perlas, we are third-generation pearl specialists. Our grading isn’t marketing; it’s a technical guarantee based on strict hand selection:
- AA+ Quality (Our Superior Standard):
Far from being a basic grade, this is our benchmark selection. It corresponds to what other brands call "luxury grade" or AAAA. These pearls have magnificent luster and a very clean surface. An ideal choice thanks to its unbeatable value. - AAA Quality (Top 3%):
A visible step up in clarity. We select only the top 3% of each annual harvest. They have more intense, deeper luster and an even cleaner surface, with imperfections that are virtually imperceptible. Ideal for those seeking an extra touch of excellence. - Signature Quality (1% – Extraordinary Pearls):
The extraordinary. Pearls with a virtually perfect balance of luster, shape, and surface. They are incredibly hard to source and represent less than 1% of global production.
Preparation time
Certain designs, like some of our earrings and necklaces where you can choose the type of clasp, are hand-strung once the order is placed, so we need one business day to get it ready and ship it the following day. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you’re in a hurry.
However, the vast majority of products are ready so orders placed before 13:00 will be shipped the same day and the rest one day later.

Product care
A good rule for caring for pearls is that they should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you
take off.
It’s also a good idea to wipe your pearls with a soft cloth after wearing them and, from time to time, you can dampen it with water for a more thorough cleaning. Avoid using harsh soaps, as they can damage the luster of the pearls.
Always keep your pearls separate from other hard jewelry, such as metals and other gemstones, to prevent them from getting scratched.

Sustainability
Pearls are the only gemstones that can be cultivated. The pearl-farming process is so natural that it not only doesn’t pollute, but actually improves the environment where it takes place. To produce pearls, Oysters need clean water free of pollution. That’s why the entire industry is committed to protecting oceans, rivers, and lakes. This makes pearls the perfect jewels for the 21st century. Learn more.
