Historical context - Vermeer and the famous pearl

Johannes Vermeer is one of the best known Dutch painters of the 17th century. In his painting Girl with a Pearl Earring, the sitter wears a single large drop pearl that catches the light and becomes the focus of the portrait. These medium size Vermeer earrings take that image as a reference and turn it into a wearable piece for today’s history lovers and costume fans.

How to wear these medium Girl with a Pearl earrings

· With a blue headscarf and simple top to recreate the Vermeer portrait.
· With white, black, cream or red blouses and dresses to frame your face.
· For weddings, historical balls, concerts or museum visits where you want a clear historical nod.
· For theatre, cosplay or photo sessions that need a recognisable "Girl with a Pearl" detail.

They are noticeable even from a distance, so you do not need many other jewelry pieces - let the pearls be the main focus.

Who are these earrings for?

· Fans of Vermeer and Dutch Golden Age painting.
· People who want a clear Girl with a Pearl Earring look without going to an extreme XL size.
· Historical reenactors, museum staff and guides.
· Cosplayers, photographers and costume designers.
· Anyone who likes bold pearl earrings and does not mind some weight.

Care instructions

· Keep the earrings dry and avoid contact with perfumes, hairspray and cosmetics.
· Store them in a dry place, separated from other jewelry, to protect the plating and the pearls.
· Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth; do not use abrasive products.

Looking for a larger version?

If you want an even more dramatic look, you can pair these with an extra large "Girl with a Pearl Earring" version with bigger drops. The medium size on this page is a good balance between impact and comfort; the XL version is better for short events, photos and stage work.

Other size of these earrings

If you need a stronger Vermeer look on stage or in photos, you can choose the large Girl with a Pearl earrings with 18×22 mm drops and higher weight.
