Description

A pair of contemporary Freshwater pearl hook earrings, from our Classics collection, that have been hand drawn in 18 carat yellow gold and can be worn throughout the day and evening.

These cultured pearls originate from China and have been individually selected for the strong shine of their lustre, their white colour and clean surface.

The huggies have an updated design in 2018 to sit comfortably just below the earlobe and, with a 9.5-10mm diameter, the pearls create a beautiful, statement look.

The drop length measures approximately 23mm, from the top of the earrings to the bottom of the pearl. Some slight differences in shape that are typical of this shape of pearl may be visible.

The earrings are also available in white and rose gold.

Each pearl is unique and may often have small blemishes or irregularities on its surface.

The table describes the different types of nacre quality that are possible.
