Details
A 3.2 mm cultured freshwater pearl on a gold post, the smallest pearl stud we carry. It is the pair for first earrings, second holes, and anyone who wants to wear pearls without noticing them.
It comes in 14k yellow gold. It weighs about 0.22 grams in 14k yellow gold. At 3.2 mm these are delicate by design. If you want pearls that show from a distance, look at the 5 to 6 mm pair.
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.
A pearl gift tends to age well: it fits a graduate and a grandmother equally, and rarely goes out of fashion.
