"My daughters and I ordered these earrings in both the white & the pink, summer'06. They are actually handcrafted wire-wrapped earrings! That's why they feel lighter. :) Not at all inferior, simply different & comfortable! With the sterling handcrafted double hoop design, there's a lot of movement; the pearls are full & smooth. Our pairs have remained beautiful this whole time, & haven't even been kept in a silver keeper! (see pictures :) How impressive is that? We buy mostly gold; we're very choosy about our sterling pieces. These earrings are special: handcrafted with nice movement, lustrous pearls, great style, and much fashion bang for our buck!"

"I bought these earrings to go with a pearl collar necklace I bought from you two years ago. I did read the review s before I purchesd them. These earrings have a big presentation. If they were any heavier, they might be too heavy on the ears. I feel really pretty when I am wearing them and am happy with the purchase."

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).
