The pearl drop is one of those jewelry designs that has earned its permanence not through trend cycles but through the simple logic that it is always exactly right. These rhodium over sterling silver leverback earrings suspend a single 6 to 7 millimeter round cultured freshwater pearl on a polished post that lets each pearl hang cleanly at one inch total length. The result is an earring that grazes the jaw with just enough movement to draw the eye and just enough restraint to work in essentially any context. Freshwater pearls at this size have genuine luster - real optical quality that a photograph cannot fully capture - and the leverback closure ensures they stay put throughout the day. This is the earring you wear when you want to look completely put-together without appearing to have tried at all.
