I have pearls on the brain this week … and what I like about these is that the design, by Assael, enables you to wear a fairly large pearl without it tugging downward on the earlobe.

Made of 18k white gold, the pearls are between 11 and 12 mm, with a total diamond carat weight of 1.46. The huggie shape and post back also would make these comfortable to wear. Available from Neiman Marcus for USD $10,800.
