"These 14 kt YG pearl dangle earrings have wonderful 8.5 mm Akoya pearls: matched, round, smooth, slight pinky-green overtones, super luster! HOWEVER, on the top part, the earring wire is sooo thin that I'm afraid it would cut my ear! I ordered another set of earrings to use the pearls on, the GFF706Y, 14 kt YG with diamond accents. The diamonds on the latter pair are poor, but the effect is good, and the earwire is thicker. So I switched these pearls onto that GFF706Y top. Check that review for a photo. :) The value of this particular pair of earrings is better than average because of the pearls. If you look in discount stores, you can find freshwater pearl dangles on a similarly decorated 14 kt YG earwire for about $70. HOWEVER, earrings with this quality of Akoya pearls are NOT to be found in that lower price range. I believe that the JTV Akoya pearls alone are worth almost what I paid for these earrings, since the large size and quality approaches Tahitians. JMHO. :) I gave only 4 stars instead of 5, simply because I had to buy a second pair of earrings in order to be able to use the pearls."

Fast Facts
| Once the price of pearls was so extravagant they caused wars and even funded a war, but today cultured pearls have made this “queen of gems” available to everyone. |
| Once, all pearls were only natural, most recovered from the Persian Gulf, occurring once in every 15,000 oysters. |
| Pearls form in the mollusk in a variety of shapes, including: round (spherical), off-round, semi-baroque, baroque, rice shaped, button or disk, and many fancy shapes created by the insertion of specially shaped nucleus beads. |
| Many royal families had an obsession with pearls. Some ancient Romans covered whole pieces of furniture in pearl, and in some monarchies only members of the royal were legally allowed to wear pearls. |
 When light touches the pearl, it travels through all the layers of nacre, and each tiny crystal reflects the light like miniature prisms. The end result? A lustrous, breathtaking pearl.

A pearl is a lustrous, organic gem produced by saltwater oysters, freshwater mussels and occasionally by some shellfish. It exhibits a range of colors from white to pink, silver, cream, peach, gold, green, blue and black. Oh Mohs’ scale of hardness, pearl is 2.5 – 4.5. Primary sources of Sea Pearls include Persian Gulf; Gulf of Manaar; along the coasts of Madagascar, Burma (Myanmar), and the Philippines; many islands in the South Pacific, northern Australia; and the coastal lines of Central and northern South America; and some small beds in Japan. Primary sources of freshwater Pearls include United States, some in Europe (restricted in Central Europe).
