Stop Going to the Salon: Try Antique Snowflake Zircon Pearl Earrings Instead

Real Talk

I bought the Antique Snowflake Zircon Pearl Earrings on a whim. I love vintage-y things. These caught my eye and I had to try them. They’re dainty. They’re sparkly. They feel proper luxe without the fake bling vibe.

I live in Melbourne and I’m picky. These are Handmade in Australia. That alone makes me smile. The craftsmanship is obvious. The zircon stones sit neatly around the pearl like a tiny snowflake. The pearl itself is smooth and sits tight. No wobbling. No cheap glue showing.

I’ve tried cheaper pairs from mall stores and some high-end salon lines. These sit closer to salon/store quality than the mass-produced stuff. They don’t scream costume jewellery. They’re subtle and classy. I reckon they’d pass in a boutique or at a nice wedding.

Wearability? Solid. They’re lightweight. I forgot I had them on a few times. The backs are secure. I wore them to a dinner, a work event, and a weekend coffee run. Each time I got compliments. A heap of people asked where I got them.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Handmade in Australia — proper craftsmanship.
• Pro: Light and comfortable. I could wear them all day.
• Pro: Looks more expensive than 55.00. Stunning little detail work.
• Pro: Doesn’t tarnish quickly. Still shiny after weeks of wear.
• Con: Pearls are delicate. Need a bit of care — avoid sprays and perfumes.
• Con: Not for rough daily wear. Take them off for gym or sleeping.
• Con: If you like big, bold hoops, these are too subtle.

I’m brutally honest here. I’ve owned pricier pairs that lost their lustre faster. These haven’t. For the price, I reckon they’re a steal. If you want fuss-free elegance that actually holds up, these are worth it.

FAQ

How long does it last?
With regular, careful wear I’ve had mine looking great after several weeks. If you store them properly and avoid water and chemicals, they should last months to years. The finish and stones are well set, but treat the pearls gently.

Is it waterproof?
No. Don’t swim or shower with them. Water and strong chemicals can dull the pearl and affect the metal over time. Wipe them gently after wear and keep them dry.
