Q: What should I know about mother-of-pearl? A: Mother-of-pearl is prized for its soft glow and elegant appearance. As a natural material, slight variations in tone, lustre, and surface character can occur, which is part of its beauty and individuality.
Q: How should I care for mother-of-pearl earrings? A: To help preserve their appearance, avoid contact with water, soap, perfume, hairspray, cosmetics, and harsh chemicals. After wear, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth and store them separately in a jewellery box or pouch to help prevent scratches.
Q: Can I wear these earrings in the shower or while sleeping? A: It is not recommended. Moisture, toiletries, heat, and friction can all affect delicate materials over time, especially mother-of-pearl. Removing them before showering, sleeping, or working out will help keep them in the best possible condition.

Q: Are these a good choice if I want a subtle Van Cleef & Arpels look? A: Yes, the Sweet Alhambra design is one of the most delicate interpretations of the house’s iconic motif. It offers an elegant, refined look that works beautifully on its own or paired with other fine jewellery.
