These lovely genuine pearl stud earrings are crafted from high luster freshwater pearls mounted on solid sterling silver posts. Available in your choice of white, pink, or lavender; we handpick each pearl to ensure the most enchanting natural color available with rare surface iridescence characteristics (aka orient). Their coloring is 100% natural and they have not been dyed or color treated. The button-shaped pearls are matched to appear nearly round from the front but when viewed from the sides their shapes are flatter like a button. They have an excellent luster, smooth surface and hints of orient. At a standard size of 7.5-8.0mm, these naturally lavender pearls are perfect for both women and girls over 8 years old (it's a lovely pair of pearls to grow with).
