Every piece is carefully handcrafted by me, Annie :). I personally design, select materials, and assemble each piece, ensuring every necklace, bracelet, and pair of earrings is made with love, attention to detail, and quality craftsmanship. Because each item is handmade, small variations may occur, making your jewelry truly one-of-a-kind. 😊

Every Pearly Loft piece is handmade by me in small batches, never mass produced. I design each style from start to finish, then hand-assemble it with intention and attention to detail. Because every freshwater pearl is naturally one-of-a-kind, no two pieces are ever exactly the same.

I take extra steps such as welding jump rings shut so your chains stay secure and wearable for years. And because I know how frustrating irritation can be, I’m intentional about using quality metals like 14k gold-filled and sterling silver (nickel free, 92.5% silver + 7.5% copper), making my jewelry a great option for sensitive skin.

Pearls for the modern era, thoughtfully made, built to last, and designed to be worn on repeat.

I use high-quality Grade-A freshwater pearls, and 14k gold-filled components(contains 5% gold of its total weight) or sterling silver components (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper).

I source my freshwater pearls from a trusted supplier whose pearls are responsibly farmed and ethically farmed in Zhejiang, China. My gold-filled and sterling silver components come from a small, reputable supplier. I also test the gold content to ensure your jewelry contains real, high-quality gold. Every material is carefully selected to create pieces that are durable and long lasting.

Yes! I only use genuine Grade-A freshwater and sometimes Tahitian pearls. Each pearl is unique, so slight variations in shape and size are natural.

Gold-filled jewelry is made by bonding a layer of real 14k gold that makes up at least 5% of the item’s total weight to a base metal ( brass). Often confused with Gold-Plated. In contrast, gold-plated jewelry usually contains less than 0.05% gold, which can wear off quickly. Because of its higher gold content, gold-filled is durable, waterproof, and hypoallergenic, making it safe for sensitive skin. It’s also resistant to tarnish and everyday wear, giving you the beauty of solid gold at a more affordable price.

Sterling silver is a high-quality metal made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper for durability. Over time, sterling silver may naturally tarnish due to exposure to air, moisture, or skin oils. This tarnish is not permanent, a gentle polish with a silver cleaning cloth will quickly restore its shine. With proper care, sterling silver jewelry can last a lifetime and is a classic choice for everyday wear.

Pearls are delicate and require a little extra care to keep their natural beauty. Avoid exposing them to water, perfume, lotions, or harsh chemicals. Water can weaken the silk or stringing material that pearls are often threaded on, and chemicals (even in tap water, like chlorine) can damage their natural luster.

To keep your pearls looking radiant:

- Wipe them gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear.

- Store them separately in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box.

- Pearls need a bit of moisture from the air to keep from drying out.

Gold-filled → mild soap + water.

Sterling silver → polishing cloth

Pearls → soft dry cloth only, never soak.

It depends on the piece. Gold-filled jewelry is water-resistant, so the occasional shower usually won’t hurt it. However, regular exposure to water, especially chlorinated pools, hot tubs, or saltwater can dull the pearls shine over time.

Sterling silver will tarnish in water over time, and pearls should always be kept dry, as water can weaken their luster and the stringing material.

So while it might be okay once in a while, we recommend removing your jewelry before swimming or showering to keep it looking its best for years to come.

Gold-filled and sterling silver jewelry are both long-lasting, but like all metals, they may change slightly over time.

A. Gold-filled jewelry is very resistant to tarnish, but over years of wear it may look a little dull. The good news is that it’s easy to refresh, just gently rub the chain or wire with lukewarm water and a mild soap, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. This will bring back its beautiful sparkle.

B. Sterling silver naturally tarnishes when exposed to air and moisture, but it’s not permanent. A quick polish with a silver cleaning cloth will restore its shine in no time.
