American Pearl’s pearl earrings are cultured Akoya, Tahitian, white and golden South Sea, and freshwater pearls — in styles from everyday white studs to diamond-accented drops and bold black pearl pairs — finished in solid gold and hand-assembled in New York’s Diamond District, sold direct at wholesale prices with free shipping.

Pearl Earrings at Wholesale Prices

Whether you want a pair of classic white studs for everyday wear or an eye-catching set of black pearl drops, American Pearl offers one of the widest selections of pearl earrings available online. Because we sell direct, you get genuine cultured pearls at true wholesale pricing, with free shipping on every order.

Akoya Pearl Earrings

Japanese Akoya pearls have the bright, mirror-like white lustre most people picture when they think of pearls. Our Akoya earrings range from simple studs with solid gold posts to dangling designs framed with rows of diamonds — a style for every taste and budget.

Black & Colored Pearl Earrings

For a bolder look, black pearls are an edgier take on the classic. We carry black Akoya and black Tahitian earrings — each with its own depth of colour — alongside mocha and golden South Sea pearls, Mother of Pearl, and baroque (irregular) South Sea shapes for something beyond the traditional round pearl.

Settings: Studs, Drops & Diamond Accents

Often it is the setting that makes the pair. Beyond simple studs, our earrings include pearl drops, dangles, and designs accented with diamonds and other precious stones — all set in solid gold and built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of pearl earrings does American Pearl sell?

Akoya, Tahitian, white South Sea, golden South Sea, and freshwater pearl earrings — in stud, hoop and drop/dangle styles, many accented with diamonds and set in solid gold.

Are black pearls real?

Yes. They are genuine cultured pearls. Tahitian pearls are naturally dark — black, peacock and green tones — while black Akoya pearls achieve their colour through treatment. Both are real pearls.

What is the difference between Akoya, Tahitian and South Sea pearls?

Akoya are the classic bright-white round pearls. Tahitian pearls are naturally dark and larger. South Sea pearls are the largest, in white or golden colours. Freshwater pearls offer a softer lustre in many shapes at a lower price.

Can I customize the pearl in an earring?

Yes — most styles can be made with the pearl type and colour you prefer. Contact American Pearl and we will build the pair to your specification.

Is shipping free, and do pearl earrings come with a gift box?

Yes. American Pearl sells direct at wholesale prices with free shipping on every order, and each pair arrives in a complimentary gift box.

What are the earring settings made of?

Solid gold, with many designs accented by diamonds and other precious stones.

Whether you're searching for white pearl studs to wear every day or an edgy pair of black pearl earrings that everyone is sure to notice, we offer one of the most impressive selections of pearl earrings available anywhere online. With excellent wholesale pricing and free shipping on pearl earrings, you can always trust American Pearl to deliver the lowest cost.

If you've always admired the classic look of white, iridescent pearls, you'll likely love our Japanese Akoya pearl earrings. This particular type of pearl has the recognizable look that most people imagine when they think of pearls, but it comes in a wide variety of styles so that you can find exactly the look that you prefer. From stud Akoya pearls with yellow gold backs to dangling Akoya pearl earrings that are ornately decorated with rows of diamonds, American Pearl offers this popular style for anyone's tastes and budget.

For something a bit more unique, our black pearl earrings are an edgier take on the traditional pearl. American Pearl offers black Akoya pearl earrings and black Tahitian pearl earrings that both offer slightly different variations of this fashionable black shade. Mocha and gold South Sea pearl earrings are also colorful ways to wear pearls, while Mother of Pearl and irregular white South Sea pearls come in various shapes and styles other than just the traditional spherical shape.

For many shoppers, it's the setting that makes the pair, not the pearl. We understand, so we've put just as much love and style into our pearl earring settings as we do the centerpieces themselves. While you certainly can't go wrong with a pair of simple pearl stud earrings, don't discount the idea of some pretty pearl dangle earrings or a style that has been glitzed up with diamonds and other precious stones. No matter your vision, there's something ideal for you here.

We value customization here at American Pearl, so if you prefer something other than the pearl that is already in a particular pair of earrings, you can often customize that style with the pearl color and type of your choice. Our selection of pearl earrings is one of the most diverse available anywhere online, and we'll even throw in a free gift box with your purchase.
