Details
Cultured freshwater pearls of 8 to 8.5 mm, the size where pearl stops being a hint and starts being the earring. The overall piece measures about 18.8 mm.
It comes in 14k white and yellow gold. It weighs about 0.86 grams in 14k white gold. Friction backs are included. Pearls this size carry a little weight, so a snug backing is worth the extra moment at the mirror.
The pearls are cultured: grown in a mollusk with human help, not found wild. Standard processing for luster and color is common in cultured pearls, and our team can tell you what we know about a specific pair. Put pearls on last and take them off first, after perfume and hairspray. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and store separately, because pearl is soft and scratches on harder stones.
Pearls are a gift that reads as a keepsake, which is why they suit a mother, a grandmother or a milestone birthday.
