HinsonGayle AAA GEM 8.5-9mm White Round Freshwater Cultured Pearl Stud Earrings (14K White Gold) Gem Collection pearls have an amazingly smooth surface, exceptional luster and hints of rare orient. HinsonGayle grading requirements are so strict that only 1 in 10,000 genuine cultured freshwater pearls makes the cut for this acclaimed collection of meticulously handpicked and matched fine pearl jewelry. Please view the image to determine how this size pearl will appear in relation to the ear. These larger sized premium 100% solid nacre pearls are treasured for their nearly perfectly round shapes, which is a feat of nature since they do not have a bead nucleus inside like Akoya pearls do. Handcrafted with premium solid 14K white gold posts and backs for lasting durability and a secure hold. HinsonGayle Gem Collection pearls make the perfect stress-free gift; our elegant signature gift box will impress. Includes a cloth pouch to store and protect your HinsonGayle handpicked pearls for generations to come. (Certificate of Authenticity emailed upon request.)
