A contemporary pair of green grey Tahitian baroque pearl earrings, finished with sterling silver, is a beautiful and fun way to wear pearls, whether in the evening or more casually.
The Tahitian pearls are 9mm diameter in size and are suspended from a dramatic sterling silver curved hoop, with a drop that measures a total of 5cm in length.
The pearls selected for these earrings have a baroque shape, which means that they have a noticeably irregular appearance that adds to their charm and individuality. Some minor imperfections and characterful circles may also be present on the surface of the pearl.

Akoya pearls are cultured in saltwater oysters, mostly in Japan, and are loved for their white colour, pink overtone and sharp lustre. Freshwater pearls are cultured in mussels in China, in colours of white or pastel pink, peach or lavender and in a variety of shapes. South Sea pearls are saltwater pearls, with a silky lustre, that are cultured in Australia, the Philippines and Indonesia. Tahitian pearls are saltwater pearls from French Polynesia, with exotic dark colours that often display overtones of pink, purple and green.
