Striking, sophisticated modern pearl cascading earrings. A duo of delicate tiny 3mm freshwater pearls set off a large vintage faux pearl accent drop. The pearls, sitting along a delicate whisper of 14k gold filled chain, create a super chic minimal look that will offset a harder masculine outfit, and work equally well with feminine, bridal looks. The French earwires are made of 14k gold filled metal. 14k gold filled metal does not flake off and contains significantly more gold than regular 'gold plated' jewelry. It is considered second in quality to solid gold. All items are genuinely handmade in my northern NJ studio. See measurements below and contact me with any questions. S P E C I F I C A T I O N S: Freshwater pearl size: 3 mm. Large vintage faux pearl: Approx. 10 mm French ear wire: 14k gold filled. Total length: 6 cm. Chain: Genuine 14k gold filled. WHAT IS 14k GOLD FILLED METAL? 14k gold fill is a fantastic alternative to solid gold as it is a genuine layer of gold permanently bonded onto base metal with heat and pressure. It is far superior to gold plating and has more value. With the right care, the finish can last many years.
