A pear charm is one of the gentlest symbols in the fruit bowl. It stands for comfort, abundance and a long, well-lived life.

An ancient symbol of long life: In Chinese tradition the pear is a symbol of longevity, because pear trees are remarkably long-lived and can go on bearing fruit for a century or more. A tree that keeps giving for generations naturally came to stand for endurance, plenty and prosperity, and the pear has carried those meanings through centuries of art and gift-giving.

Comfort and kindness: The pear's soft shape and mellow sweetness have made it a wider emblem of comfort, kindness and connection, and in Korean tradition pears are associated with good health and wisdom too. Even in Britain the pear feels like a gentle fruit: orchard-grown, patient, and at its best when given a little time.

What the pear charm represents

Worn as jewellery, the pear charm is a quiet wish for someone's wellbeing: a long life, a full table and a comfortable home. It can mark a golden wedding anniversary, honour a grandparent, or celebrate a keen gardener with a beloved pear tree at the bottom of the garden.

Who the pear charm suits

It makes a warm gift for grandmothers and mothers, for anniversaries and retirements, for new homes, or for the friend whose kitchen always smells of baking. Because the symbolism leans towards long life and plenty, it suits milestone birthdays especially well.

The design behind the pear charm

The Lily Charmed pear charm is plated in 18ct gold over recycled 925 sterling silver, and the warm golden tone suits the fruit perfectly: a little gilded pear with a rounded base and a slender neck. A universal hinged clasp means it slots straight into an existing Pandora or charm bracelet stack.

How to wear the pear charm

Gold loves company, so wear the pear alongside other gold charms for a honeyed, harvest feel, or let it hang alone on a gold chain as a delicate pendant. It also mixes happily into a two-tone stack next to silver fruit charms like the cherry and banana. For more gifts with meaning behind them, browse the rest of the food and drink charm collection.
