Why a baroque pearl
“Scaramazza” is the Italian term for a pearl with a baroque, irregular, non-spherical shape: which is exactly why every one is unique in its outline, surface and lustre. It is a choice with character compared with the classic round pearl, and much loved in vintage jewellery.
Frequently asked questions
- What does “scaramazza” mean? It is the term for a pearl with an irregular, baroque shape, not perfectly round.
- Is every pair the same? No: since the pearl has a naturally irregular shape, each earring has a slightly different shape and lustre.
- How do I look after the gold plating? Avoid water, perfume and creams, put them on last and store them dry in a soft pouch; this way the plating lasts longer.
- What do they go with? Gold and pearl suit both a daytime look and an elegant evening, with neutral tones as well as bold colours.
- Are these earrings made in Italy? Yes – they are designed and handcrafted in Italy by L'Officiel Roma (Laura Fabbri), an Italian costume jewellery maison established in 1969.
