HinsonGayle's simply stunning GEM Collection ultra-premium round pearl earrings are crafted from the highest quality cultured freshwater pearls available in the world. We meticulously hand select and match these two pearls from literally 1000s of premium pearls. Then they are carefully hand mounted on these stunning elegant and updated scoop-shaped solid 14K yellow gold settings. With their nearly perfectly round shapes and the fact that premium freshwater pearls have a 100% solid nacre and exceptionally smooth surface, HinsonGayle's handpicked GEM Collection pearls represent the creme de la creme of the cultured pearl harvest and rival the highest quality Akoya and South Sea saltwater pearls. The AAA-grade white, pink and lavender pearls were selected for their enchanting natural colors. Their coloring is 100% natural and they have not been dyed or color treated. The AAA-grade freshwater black pearls are color treated to create richly colored surfaces with colorful green to blue overtones and purple to copper undertones. Each pearl has gorgeous body color, rich tone, mirror-like luster, and hints of the rarest of pearl value characteristics known as surface iridescence or orient. HinsonGayle's pearls are NOT lacquer coated to create a false and temporary luster. Each pair comes with clear clutch-style rubber earring backs to help keep your earrings secure.
