8mm cultured freshwater pearl drop earrings in solid 14K yellow gold create fine pearl jewelry that wears as a daily investment: the solid gold construction - not gold-over-sterling but real precious metal throughout - combined with the cultured pearl's natural luster creates an earring with the permanence and quality of genuine fine jewelry. At 1/2 inch long, the drop is short - a pearl drop that moves very close to the ear rather than creating a long dangle - providing security and comfort for everyday wear while still creating pearl-in-motion light catch. The solid gold companion to the gold-over-sterling pearl earrings in the collection, for the customer who wants the real gold quality.
