Pink or rose tinted pearl earrings are popular because the tint is deemed very feminine and desirable. Pink pearl earrings come in a myriad of styles and designs.

Pearl earrings are made from different kinds of cultured pearls such as Akoya, Tahitian, South Sea or Chinese freshwater, to name a few. The natural hues of the pearls are the result of the kind of oyster it is cultivated in.

The temperature and condition of the water (freshwater or saltwater. for example) will also determine the dominant color of pearls. The beauty of this gem lies in the fact that it has lucent overtones that are evident over the top of the pearl's main body shade. These overtones tend to add depth to the main body color, giving the pearl a certain glow and intensity.

Most pink pearls are actually white with rose tints. These pearls are used to make pearl earrings. The pinker the natural shade of the pearl used to make earrings, the more expensive the earrings. Pink pearls can also have various overtones ranging from peach to lavender. Pink pearl earrings are believed to be a very desirable alternative to typical white pearls.

Pink pearls have the ability to set off different skin tones and clothing styles. Pink pearls are available in necklaces, rings and bracelets, but the most sought after piece of pink pearl jewelry are earrings. Dangling pink pearl earrings are especially popular worn traditionally by many brides. While necklaces provide a breathtaking mix of shades and colors, earrings are usually composed of a maximum of two pearls (if moderate in size) or four pearls (if tiny) all of the same shade of pink.
