Description

A pair of white Akoya pearl stud earrings, finished in 18 carat white gold, with pearls that have been selected for their excellent lustre and elegant white colour with pink overtone.

The iconic Akoya pearl is famed for its quality and the delicate way that it reflects light and illuminates the face.

Cultured in Japan since the early 1900s, a saltwater Akoya pearl is grown in its oyster for between 10 and 14 months before reaching their desired quality.

Chosen for their classic looks and ease of wear, these earrings are ideally suited for those looking for a beautiful pair of pearl stud earrings, discreet jewellery for the office or a perfect wedding accessory for a bride or bridesmaid.

These stud earrings are also available with 18 carat yellow or rose gold earring fittings.
