I'm not normally a fan of pearls as they are feel too formal for my casual lifestyle but I fell in love with a pair of Paul Morelli pearl cluster earrings after trying them on. They actually match my VCA magic pendant quite well and I was looking for non-VCA earrings to match. Now that it may be time to make a purchase, I'm starting to wonder if I should look at Mikimoto instead. They are the top brand when it comes pearls but i haven't seen them in person. There are 2 Mikimoto styles I would consider but not sure how they would look on me. Does anyone own any of the earrings below? What would you pick if you had the choice?

I love both of the Mikimoto ones, but I would probably pick the first MM ones you posted as they are more my style. The Morelli ones look very formal to me...
The pair by Morelli seems more fun, unique and stylish to me; I could see those rocked with jeans or dressed up. The Mikimotos are too classic/conservative for my taste.
Edited to add: But I see you want to wear these with your VCA pendant and I’m not sure if the Morellis work as well in that case, hmmm....

Thank you for the response. The first Mikimoto pair I posted is similar in price to the Morelli's and I like them better than the second Mikimoto pair. I may have to try them on to see what they would look like on my ears.
Thanks for your response. I am drawn to the Morelli's as they are unique but if I'm going to spend the money, I wonder if Mikimoto is a better choice? I have other earrings I can wear with my VCA pendant but I was hoping they would look good together. Maybe I need to look at the smaller Morelli's (They are called Orbit).
I like the first ones by a mile. I’m not a pearl fan but those I would wear. They are a unique modern take on pearls that are very versatile. The others seem very formal to me.
Thanks for the response. The first ones are the ones that have been on my wish list for awhile, Mikimoto came about after reading the Pearl thread
I'm so not a pearl person either (I like nice things but I'm super casual so tend to pair luxe pieces with more casual wear) but the cluster style is interesting and doesn't feel like your typical conservative pearl earrings.They are probably the size of a dime or penny. I can't seem to find a good picture online but when I tried them on, they weren't HUGE or overwhelming.
I would go with either one of the Mikimoto earrings. However, if you are planning on wearing them with your VCA pendant, it would be best to actually try them on with the pendant to see how they look together.
Thank you for your comment. The more I think about it, the more it seems as if they the 1st pair won’t really go pair well with my vca. They are more of a stand alone pair (which isn’t a bad thing). The other 2 would probably match a little better.
Thank you! I wasn’t sure if they would work together but regardless, I love the earrings and am happy to wear them on their own.
