Gold and Pearl Drop Earrings

Fancy, romantic and minimalist are the words that these earrings evoke for me. Each earring consists of a medium sized gold post hanging above a slightly larger in size pearl via a golden cap affixed to the top of each pearl. Prior to the advent of the pearl culturing industry in the early 20th century, pearls were the rarest and most highly valued gem on earth - hundreds of years ago, they were considered more precious than diamonds! Pearls are a cream color with warm, slightly pinkish overtones and medium luster. The earrings have a post style setting and come with friction backs. These are a perfect staple piece for any jewelry collection, and a lovely size.
