"Water Lily" is a pair of unique pearl earrings. it measures 1 and 3/4 inches long, real dropping length is 11/2 inches because of the clever earring hook design. 1/2 inches wide. There is another version of 'water lily", the earring wire and hook are regular ones. See the last picture above. These sleek, minimalist earrings are made of Grade A Black fresh-water pearl(8.mm) and 14k gold-filled 22 gauge round wire. The clever earring hook designed to make the earring wire hook looks invisible and the veridical 22 gauge 14k gold-filled rod looks like afloat at the ear lobe. Quality 14k gold-filled wire is from the Rio Grande, the American leading gem, and finding company. it made for last. The pearls are two of 8mm, Grade A Freshwater pearls. Grade A Freshwater pearl has no visible blemishes, has good luster. I prefer to use the perfect round one. This is fine jewelry with precious metal and genuine Grade A pearls. It is affordable fine jewelry. perfect gift for loved ones on any occasion.
