What is a baroque pearl?

Baroque pearls are irregularly shaped pearls that do not have a symmetrical and uniform shape like other types of pearls. They often have a unique and organic appearance, making them highly sought after for their distinctiveness and natural beauty.

The shape of a baroque pearl is formed when the pearl develops in the oyster or mollusk in a way that causes it to grow in a non-spherical or irregular shape. This can be due to a variety of factors including unique conditions within the oyster, genetic traits, or environmental influences.

Baroque pearls can come in a variety of shapes, including oval, teardrop, and irregular shapes with bumps and ridges. They can also vary in size, color, and luster, making each one unique and individual.

These pearls are popular in jewelry design for their organic and artistic appeal. They are often used in necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, showcasing their natural beauty and distinctive appearance. Baroque pearls are often more affordable than perfectly round pearls, making them a popular choice for those looking for something unique and eye-catching.
