Dog House Pearls is a women owned and operated jewelry company built around a single material, the freshwater pearl. By its own account it started as a service to keep partners out of the dog house and grew into a small label with a clear point of view: pearls brought into the present, loosened from the formality they usually carry. Designs are made locally by the company's own team, which is part of why the collection feels considered rather than assembled.
What makes a Dog House Pearls piece different
Pearls are sourced by the Dog House Pearls team itself and the pieces are handcrafted, running from single and multi strand necklaces to lariats, chokers, bracelets, earrings and pendants, with a set aside for weddings. The designs stay clean and uncluttered on purpose, which is what lets a piece carry from the wedding day into ordinary days afterward. A bride recognizes the house by that restraint: real freshwater pearls, quiet metal, nothing fussy.
The pieces
Disc earrings with seed pearls
Small white seed pearls hang from a simple disc in a choice of .925 sterling silver or 9k gold, the kind of earring that reads as finished rather than fussy under a veil. Shop the Disc Earrings with Seed Pearls, $175.
Delicate pearl bracelet with crystal clasp
Freshwater pearls between 8 and 9mm are hand threaded on silk strands and finished with a magnetic crystal clasp, available in white, black or multi pearl, a bracelet sized to layer under a sleeve or sit on its own. Shop the Delicate Pearl Bracelet with Crystal Clasp, $175.
Baroque pearl necklace with gold beads
Irregularly shaped baroque pearls, 9 to 10mm, are hand knotted on silk thread and separated by gold plated beads for a necklace with more texture than a standard round pearl strand, finished at 18 inches with a magnetic clasp. Shop the Baroque Pearl Necklace with Gold Beads, $225.
Blue lapis and biwa pearl drop earrings
Blue lapis beads hang beneath large white biwa freshwater pearls in 18 carat gold over sterling silver, an earring with more color and movement than the house's quieter pieces. Shop the Blue Lapis and Biwa Pearl Drop Earrings, $125.
Baroque pearl bracelet with crystal clasp
The bracelet companion to the baroque pearl necklace, 10 to 11mm baroque pearls finished with a magnetic crystal and stainless steel clasp, available in white or black pearl. Shop the Baroque Pearl Bracelet with Crystal Clasp, $175.
90 inch freshwater Tiffany-inspired rope necklace
At 90 inches and hand threaded on silk with no clasp, this is the pearl rope built for styling, worn looped, knotted or tied however the day calls for it, from a single long strand to a doubled or tripled choker. Shop the 90" Freshwater Tiffany-Inspired Rope Necklace, $300.

Dog House Pearls jewelry, answered
What makes Dog House Pearls different from other pearl jewelry?
The house is built around a single material, the freshwater pearl, handled by its own team from sourcing through hand knotting. The designs stay deliberately clean rather than ornate, which is what lets them move from the wedding into everyday wear.
Are Dog House Pearls genuine freshwater pearls?
Yes. Every piece in the collection uses genuine freshwater cultured pearls, including baroque and biwa shapes, rather than imitation or shell pearls.
Can I wear Dog House Pearls jewelry after the wedding?
That is the idea behind the house. The clean, uncluttered designs are meant to carry from the wedding day into ordinary days afterward, not just the one event.
