Description
Two beautiful genuine baroque shape Tahitian pearls are the centerpiece of this simple and timeless pair of drop earrings. Set on 14k rose gold filled headpins and dangling from 14k rose gold filled ear wires, they make an elegant statement worn casual or dressed up.
The color of Tahitian pearls can be difficult to describe as they often show many colors and take on different tones because of their nacre luster.
These have a body color of grey/bronze and they show just about every color of overtones including pink, gold, green, silver and blue.
These earrings are one of a kind, you will receive the exact pair of earrings shown in photos.
Pearls have been photographed in both indoor and outdoor light, at various angles and light directions to attempt to show all of the tones and colors they take on in different settings.

ABOUT GOLD FILLED JEWELRY
Gold-filled jewelry is composed of a solid layer of gold, which must constitute at least 5% (1/20) of the item’s total weight, mechanically bonded to sterling silver or a base metal (such as jeweler’s brass). Gold-filled items are 5 to 10 times thicker than regular gold plating, and 15 to 25 times thicker than gold electroplate, making it much more valuable and longer lasting because gold-filled has an actual layer of karat gold, not just a microscopic film as on plated jewelry which is estimated to be 0.05% or less of the metal product. Most gold-filled is 12kt or 14kt gold-filled (I use 14kt for my pieces). Gold-filled does not de-laminate or peel like plated or “dipped” products. It is tarnish resistant and does not tarnish as readily as silver. Many find that they never have to clean gold-filled items at all. However, from time to time your jewelry may become dirty from everyday wear. To clean gold-filled it is best to use mild soap and water.
