In the September 2025 SALIFE Luxury Issue, our Baroque Freshwater Pearls were featured in a bold, contemporary editorial. The styling — a monochrome palette of satin, structure and sharp tailoring — provided the perfect contrast to the organic softness of the pearls.
The result is striking: pearls reimagined with modern edge. Against the sculptural ruffled bodice and elongated silhouette, the baroque strands become the focal point — glowing, tactile and undeniably luxurious.
Why Baroque Pearls Are Worth Collecting
For many of our clients, baroque pearls hold a special kind of significance. Their individuality makes them deeply personal; their beauty feels authentic rather than manufactured. They are perfect for those who prefer jewellery with story and soul — pieces that don’t just accessorise, but express.
Baroque pearls also hold their value as natural gems, especially as unique strands become harder to source. Choosing a baroque piece is choosing something truly singular: a treasure no one else will ever have.

Frequently Asked Questions About Baroque Pearls
1. What are baroque pearls?
Baroque pearls are naturally formed pearls with irregular, non-spherical shapes. Their organic curves and unique textures are what make them so distinctive. No two baroque pearls are ever identical, which is why they are highly sought after by collectors and lovers of unique jewellery.
2. What makes baroque freshwater pearls different from classic round pearls?
Round pearls are traditionally valued for their symmetry, but baroque freshwater pearls are celebrated for the opposite — their individuality. Their freeform shapes allow them to catch light beautifully, creating a soft, sculptural glow that feels contemporary and expressive.
3. Are baroque pearls considered valuable?
Yes. High-quality baroque pearls hold significant value, especially as unique strands become harder to source. Their worth is determined by lustre, size, colour and the harmony of shapes within a strand. Because each pearl is naturally different, baroque pieces are inherently one-of-a-kind.
4. How should I style a baroque pearl necklace or bracelet?
Baroque pearls are incredibly versatile. They pair beautifully with both minimalist and more dramatic looks — from crisp shirts and everyday tailoring to evening silhouettes and editorial-inspired outfits. Their organic texture adds softness and luxury to any style.
5. How do I care for my baroque pearl jewellery?
Pearls thrive with gentle wear and proper care. Store them separately from other jewellery, avoid harsh chemicals or perfumes, and wipe them with a soft cloth after wearing. For long-lasting lustre, we recommend having them professionally checked or restrung periodically.
6. Are baroque pearls suitable as gifts?
Absolutely. Because no two are alike, baroque pearls make wonderfully meaningful gifts. They are ideal for milestone celebrations, bridal parties, anniversaries or as an heirloom to pass down. Their individuality adds sentiment to the beauty of the piece.
7. Where can I view the baroque pieces featured in SALIFE Luxury?
Both the Baroque Freshwater Pearl Strand necklace and matching bracelet featured in the SALIFE Luxury September 2025 editorial are available in our Norwood boutique and online through the James Thredgold pearl collection.
