Why I'm Obsessed with Antique Snowflake Zircon Pearl Earrings (Honest Review)

I adore these. They look expensive. But they're not perfect. Still, I reckon they're worth it.

Real Talk Review

I tried the Antique Snowflake Zircon Pearl Earrings for a weekend outing and then a dinner date. First thing — they're delicate and detailed. Tiny zircon stones make a snowflake pattern around a creamy faux pearl. The whole piece has that old-school, feminine energy I love.

Huge plus: Handmade in Australia. That matters to me. You can tell someone put time into each piece. They don't feel like a rush-job off a factory line. Compared to salon/store costume jewellery I've bought before, these punch above their price. They have a boutique finish. Not as rigidly perfect as high-end jewellers, but more charming. And better quality than the cheap clips you find at fast-fashion chains.

My hands felt the weight. It's light. Comfortable to wear all evening. The backs grip well. No slipping. The zircon stones catch light in a soft way. The pearls are not blindingly shiny. They're classy. The detailing survives a few bumps — but you do need to be gentle when putting them on.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Beautiful, vintage-inspired design that actually looks more expensive than $55.
• Pro: Lightweight and comfy. I wore them for 6+ hours without tugging.
• Pro: Handmade in Australia — big win for quality and ethics.
• Pro: Great gift vibe. Comes across as thoughtful, not mass-produced.
• Con: Stones are set delicate. Needs careful removal. Don't yank them off mid-party.
• Con: Pearls need gentle care. Keep them away from perfumes and hairspray.
• Con: Not for super-rough daily wear. Treat them like special-occasion jewels.

Bottom line: I reckon they'll be a staple for anyone who loves vintage vibes with a modern fit. They beat a lot of store-bought costume jewellery I've tried. If you want fuss-free, everyday studs — these aren't them. If you want something stunning for nights out, say yes.

FAQ

How long does it last?
With careful wear and basic care, the earrings should last years. The stones and settings are fine for occasional and regular use. The plating or finish may dull over time if you wear them in the shower, to the gym, or while sleeping. I had no issues after a few weeks of weekend wear, but treat them kindly and they'll last way longer than cheap fashion pieces.

Is it waterproof?
No. Not really. Avoid swimming, showering or heavy sweat while wearing them. The pearls and metal finish don't like chlorinated or salty water. Wipe them gently after wearing and keep them away from perfumes and hairspray for best results.
