What are vegan pearls? Understanding the ethical alternative for your bridal jewellery.
If you're a bride looking for sustainable, cruelty-free choices for your wedding day, you've probably come across the term 'vegan pearls.' But what exactly are vegan pearls, and why should you consider them for your bridal jewellery?
Vegan pearls: beautiful, ethical, and sustainable
Traditional pearls are not considered cruelty free, as they are harvested from molluscs. Vegan pearls, on the other hand, offer a beautiful alternative that's both kind to animals and gentle on the planet.
At Minetta, we exclusively use products that are cruelty-free and vegan, believing deeply that ethical choices should never compromise on beauty or style. Just because you choose to avoid animal products doesn't mean you have to compromise on your dream bridal look.
What are Vegan Pearls made from?
Our vegan pearls are crafted from high-quality man-made materials, involving a crystal glass core coated in a pearlescent layer. This creates the luminous finish and appearance of traditional pearls without involving animal products or exploitation.
High-quality, ethical materials
Our vegan pearl jewellery range is crafted with care using only materials that will last for years to come:
Sterling Silver: Timeless, elegant, and durable, sterling silver ensures your bridal jewellery stays beautiful and is easily cleaned and maintained.
14k Gold Fill: A beautiful alternative to solid gold, 14k gold fill is hypoallergenic and exceptionally long-lasting, perfect for sensitive skin and frequent wear.
Personalise your pearls
Your wedding day is deeply personal, and your jewellery should reflect that. Many pieces in our vegan pearl range can be customised with initials, wedding dates, or meaningful words—making them uniquely yours. This level of personalisation ensures your jewellery is not only perfect for your wedding day but also a treasured keepsake you'll love forever.
Caring for your vegan pearl jewellery
Vegan pearls are not only sustainable and ethical; they're also practical. Caring for them is simple:
Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals like perfumes or lotions.
Gently clean your pearls using a soft cloth and store them safely in a jewellery pouch or box.
