Questions about this piece

Are these sold as a pair?

Yes. You receive two matching earrings.

Is the gold color permanent?

Plated, vermeil, and gold-filled finishes are layers over another metal. Gold-filled layers are thick and last for years; plating is thinner and wears gradually with friction, lotion, and chlorine.

Will white gold turn yellow?

The rhodium plating on white gold wears slowly with daily use and can reveal a warmer tone underneath. A jeweler can re-plate it quickly, usually every one to three years.

Can I wear them in the shower or pool?

Take them off. Pearls are soft and porous, and chlorine, soap, and hot water dull them. Put pearls on after perfume and lotion, and wipe them after wear.

Are the pearls real?

Yes. Cultured pearls are real pearls, grown inside a mollusk around a nucleus placed by a pearl farmer. Each one varies slightly in shape, surface, and luster, so no two pieces match exactly.

How fast will it arrive?
