Why do shoppers love it?
For those who want an accessory that’s simple yet elegant, these pearl earrings are the perfect purchase. Measuring approximately 5.25 millimeters by 4.25 millimeters each, they certainly aren’t overly large but combined, they have between 8 to 8.5 millimeters of cultured akoya pearl which is more than enough to be noticeable in your ear. These saltwater pearls, famously cultivated in Japan, are known for a mirror-like luster and almost perfectly round shape. The iridescent studs are further complemented with the 14K yellow gold post and backing that’s just as high-quality as the pearls themselves.

Pure gold is much softer and daintier of a metal which is why 14K yellow gold is far preferred for an accessory you want to get a lot of wear out of. The pure gold and alloy mixture ensures the beautiful shine of real gold with the strength of an alloy like copper or zinc. It’s a more muted color compared to real gold, so in many cases, shoppers think it looks more expensive, and it’s more resistant to daily wear and tear — meaning you can know that the money put towards these earrings ensures longevity.
The earrings have a post back closure, which provides a comfortable but secure fit in any piercing.

Shoppers are thoroughly impressed with the quality and luster of the pearls. The studs are decently sized but not heavy to the point that they weigh down your earlobes. “You notice them but they aren’t too big,” one shopper said. They have a great shine that makes for a truly lovely accessory.
