Freshwater pearls hang from an intricately designed sterling silver filigree piece and Bali style sterling silver ear wires.  The drops measure approximately 1 ¼”.  These earrings are available with White Pearls (shown), Pink Pearls, and Chocolate Brown Pearls.  Natural variances in freshwater pearls make each pair unique.  Pearl sizes range between 4 and 5mm.

Pearls are organic gems that are 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.

Sterling Silver is composed of 92.5% silver & usually another metal, such as copper.  Sterling silver is harder than Hill Tribe Silver and is timeless & versatile.
