1 Pair Available, as shown: One of a Kind, Designer-Matched, Natural Color Cultured Freshwater Pearl Earrings.
The two pearls in this earring pair were individually handpicked and matched by the Designer, Kimberly Arpaia, in Hong Kong. The pearls are securely set into the pearl mountings by post & bond.
Kim named the unusual coloration of these pearls as "Mocha Moonlight." Natural pearl color is affected by light and movement. As shown in the images, pearl hue can look different depending on the light source and overtones can pop in certain light.
All metal is Solid Plumb 14K Yellow Gold made in USA. The 14K findings include fluted pearl cups, notched earring posts, and fluted friction earring backs.
This earring pair was designed and assembled by Arpaia® in New Haven, Connecticut USA using domestic and imported components. MSRP $450. Designer-direct price through this site $350.
