Cultured pearls have always fascinated. A symbol of purity, elegance, and femininity, they now come in a multitude of shapes and shades, each telling a unique story.
At La Maison GISEL B , we enhance these authentic pearls through women's jewelry with a minimalist design, handmade in France , in recycled laminated gold or 24-carat gold plated .
In this article, discover the different shapes of cultured pearls and how they influence the style, light, and personality of each piece of jewelry.
🌿 1. The round pearl: the eternal icon of elegance
The round pearl is the most classic, the one we immediately imagine when we think of a pearl. Perfect, smooth, and symmetrical, it embodies timeless luxury.
Its even shine reflects light evenly, providing a chic and sophisticated look.
👉 At La Maison GISEL B , the round pearl is found on our fine necklaces and our minimalist earrings , bringing a touch of softness to all styles.
It is the pearl of elegant women , who love discreet but precious jewelry.
Example: our Lili chips or the Paloma necklace , two pieces where the purity of the pearl is sufficient in itself.
🌸 2. The baroque pearl: imperfection turned into art
Unlike perfect roundness, the baroque pearl seduces with its irregularity. Each pearl is unique , with organic shapes, sometimes elongated or asymmetrical.
It is this singularity that gives it all its charm - a living, authentic, natural jewel.
At La Maison GISEL B , the baroque pearl is at the heart of our DNA. We love its free and poetic forms , its changing pearly reflection , and the symbolic power of imperfection .
👉 We find it in our Jim bracelets , our baroque hoop earrings or even in the Les Essentiels collection , where it interacts with crystal and laminated gold.
She embodies the modern woman : free, assertive and naturally elegant.
🌼 3. Rice pearl: finesse and delicacy
The rice pearl , fine and elongated, evokes grace and subtlety.
Lighter than the round pearl, it is easy to wear every day while maintaining a refined look.
At La Maison GISEL B , we love using it to create delicate beaded chains or fine bracelets .
It is the perfect pearl for those looking for a discreet piece of jewelry , both romantic and timeless .
🌊 4. The drop-shaped pearl: elegance and movement
The drop (or pear) pearl is particularly popular for pendant earrings .
Its elongated curve captures the light with every movement, creating an effect that is both sensual and graceful.
👉 At La Maison GISEL B , this pearl shape adorns our Paloma earrings or our marine-inspired creations , for a feminine and natural look.
It is an ideal choice to illuminate the face and enhance evening or wedding outfits.
🌾 5. The button pearl: softness and modernity
The button pearl , slightly flattened, offers a shiny surface perfect for sleeper earrings or fine bracelets .
Less formal than the round pearl, it adapts wonderfully to modern and refined looks.
It reflects the vision of La Maison GISEL B : elegant jewelry, made to last , and easy to wear every day .
✨ 6. The Keshi pearl: the free pearl
Born without a nucleus, the Keshi pearl is a pure creation of nature.
Its irregular surface and exceptional brilliance make it a rare and precious pearl, highly sought after in contemporary jewelry.
At La Maison GISEL B , she embodies our taste for raw and natural materials , our artisanal creations and our commitment to sustainable luxury .
Each Keshi pearl used in our jewelry is carefully selected for its unique texture and inimitable light .
