thank you!

Do NOT get the Mejuri ones!!!!!!!

I bought this same pair, loved and wore them every day for a year, and then over the summer the metal turned black.

And I discovered that there are many posters on Reddit reporting similar tarnishing/blackening with their Mejuri metals.

I advise investing in solid gold to avoid that situation.

2 look dates, 1 look cheap, so I'd go with 3!

I like no2 in silver. If you want the gold, no1 looks more modern. I'm sure you'll look fab in any if thats your thing though.

Number 2 look very dated, definitely not them.

don’t like 2

No 2.

I like options two, but I have a personal bias against the irregular shape of freshwater pearls, so that rules out number 3 for me.

1. More modern than the other two.

I haven't actually made any decisions after reading this thread! You lot are making it very difficult to decide on a pair 😂I can't stand it when jewellery tarnishes, so I think that rules our Mejuri (unless it's solid gold, which is not affordable). I quite like the shape of the Muru pair - I've seen this shape across the high street, I think the irregular shape is a lot more 'in' right now compared with the perfectly rounded pearl, which is more classic. I am interested to hear from those who like choice 1 why they think this is a more current look?

I would advise against buying pearls online as you really need to see them in the flesh to make sure that they match -I have a pair I bought online and they are fractionally different sizes and it annoys me everytime I wear them (so I don't wear them often). If you have a John Lewis near you might be worth looking at the pair a PP mentioned?

The second one, I like the shape of the pearl.

They're all nice. But I think two and 3 over 1. Three is the nicest
I think because of the unusual shape of the pearl If you like that.

Second ones.
I have some similar from Monica Vinader.

I prefer 1, proportions look better to me. I would like these myself!

They are all lovely but personally I prefer option 1. I have a similar style in silver and I wear them everyday and they go with everything. I've never had a problem with the clasp. I think that it depends on your personal style.

I don't think 2 look dated.

Not Orelia as it's not good quality

For me it depends on how often you want to wear them. I do prefer number 2 however I’d have

1 for everyday wear
2 for occasional wear eg nights out , celebrations etc as they are more elegant.

Number 2, the gold hoop is really nice, more substantial looking than number 3.

no 3 or adding another suggestion Gold Huggie Pearl Drop Earrings – Lily & Roo (lilyandroo.com)

I would consider these as they're gold, as opposed to just gold plated. I have a pair and they're lovely.

2, the Muru ones. The others could be plastic, they're so white and spherical.

I have had Orelia jewellery in the past, and the quality is not good IMO. Gold plate rubbed off quickly.

I vote for 1
3 is nice but long metal bit ends up hurting and digging into the back of my ears if I ever lean or rest my face on one side.
