Freshwater pearls in Chocolate, Bronze and Champagne dangle from lightweight sterling silver ear wires.  These versatile earrings are sure to compliment any shade of brown and coordinate nicely with the matching necklace and bracelet to make a complete set.   Natural variances in freshwater pearls make each pair unique.

Pearls are an organic gem that is created when an oyster covers a foreign object with layers of nacre. Long ago, pearls were important financial assets because pearls were rare and only created by chance.  Thousands of oysters had to be searched for only one pearl.

Today pearls are cultured by man, most in Japan.  Shell beads are placed inside an oyster and the oyster is returned to the water. When the pearls are harvested, the oyster has covered the bead with layers of nacre creating a pearl.
