Strength holding softness — a pearl cradled in sculptural curves.
The Carina Pearl Huggie Earrings are defined by the relationship between two forms: a fluid, asymmetric arc of polished metal and the round pearl it holds. The huggie does not simply frame the pearl from behind — it curves around it in an open embrace, the sculptural silhouette creating a sense of motion and structure that elevates a classic element into something distinctly contemporary.
The pearl sits nestled within the curve, forward-facing and luminous against the polished metal arc. The asymmetry of the huggie — wider at the front where the pearl rests, tapering as it closes at the back — gives the earring its modern character. It reads as considered and architectural at a distance, and as delicate and pearl-soft up close. The contrast between the two qualities is precisely the point.
At 13mm height and 1.6g per earring, the Carina sits close to the lobe with a quiet but definite presence — substantial enough to be noticed, light enough to forget during a full day of wear. The hinged clicker closure keeps it secure and correctly positioned throughout.
Available in gold tone (PVD-coated stainless steel) and silver tone (polished stainless steel) — both finishes waterproof, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenic. The gold tone adds warmth and richness to the pearl's natural luminosity. The silver tone is cooler and cleaner, letting the pearl speak for itself against a bright metallic backdrop.
Soft. Refined. Effortlessly modern.

FAQ
What makes the Carina different from a standard pearl stud?
The Carina is a sculptural huggie rather than a stud — the pearl sits cradled within an asymmetric open arc that wraps around the lobe. This gives the earring movement, depth, and architectural character that a flat stud backing cannot replicate. The pearl faces forward from within the curve, creating a more dynamic and modern silhouette.
Is the pearl real?
The Carina features a high-quality artificial pearl with a smooth, consistent round shape and luminous white finish — delivering the classic pearl aesthetic with reliable uniformity across every pair.
Are the Carina earrings truly waterproof?
Yes. Both the gold tone (PVD-coated) and silver tone (polished) variants are crafted from stainless steel — waterproof, sweatproof, and tarnish-resistant for continuous daily wear including exercise and everyday activity in Malaysia's humid climate.
What is the difference between the gold and silver tone?
The gold tone uses PVD coating over stainless steel — a durable process that bonds the gold finish at a molecular level for exceptional longevity. The silver tone is polished stainless steel in its natural finish. Both are waterproof and tarnish-resistant. Gold tone adds warmth that complements the pearl's lustre; silver tone is cooler and lets the pearl stand as the sole point of warmth against a bright metallic arc.
Are these earrings suitable for sensitive ears?
Yes. Stainless steel is hypoallergenic and free from nickel, lead, and cadmium — safe for sensitive ears under normal daily wear conditions.
Can the Carina earrings be worn for ear stacking?
Yes. The sculptural arc profile and 13mm height make the Carina a distinctive anchor piece for an ear stack — pair at the primary lobe with slim huggies or simple studs at upper piercings for a composed, pearl-accented curation.
Is this suitable as a gift?
Yes. The pearl motif and sculptural design give the Carina a refined, considered quality that translates well as a gift for birthdays, anniversaries, and meaningful occasions.
