Pearl Knot Earrings

Gold pearl drop earrings: a freshwater pearl hangs from a polished gold knot for a classic look with a modern twist.

Who it's for: Pearl lovers, brides and bridesmaids, and anyone who wants one piece that dresses up jeans or a holiday party look. A pretty gift for moms and grandmas, too.

The details: Sold as a pair. 18k gold plating over brass on sterling silver posts. The freshwater pearl is oval, usually about 10mm x 8mm; each one is natural, so size varies. The knot is about 10mm wide.

Care

Pearls go on last, after lotion, perfume and hairspray. Wipe the pearl and the gold with a soft dry cloth after wearing, keep them away from water, and store them on their own so other jewelry can't scratch them.
