14k Yellow Gold 6-6.5mm AA Akoya Cultured Pearl Earrings Overview

Proper care of pearls is not difficult if you remember that they are organic and produced by a living thing. Pearls are soft and delicate, but when cared for with common sense, they will maintain their lustre for centuries. The pearls should not come in contact with cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, chlorinated water, or other harsh chemicals. To keep them clean, let them be the last item put on when dressing, and the first item taken off at the end of an evening. The best way to maintain their lustre is to wear the pearls often, and wipe them down with a soft cloth afterward--pearls absorb the oils from skin, which helps keep them moist. Pearls should be stored in a cloth pouch or jewelry bag, separated from other jewelry to prevent nicks or chipping. Periodically, pearl strands should be restrung since the silk thread used to tie the pearls together breaks down over time.

14k Yellow Gold 6-6.5mm AA Akoya Cultured Pearl Earrings Specifications

No fine jewelry collection is complete without a classic pair of pearl stud earrings. This lovely pair showcases round white AA Akoya cultured pearls, well-matched for size, shape and color. The pearls have a diameter of 6-6.5mm and are featured on posts with clutch backings, both made from bright and durable 14 karat yellow gold. These are fine quality pearls--with a beautiful luster and only slight surface blemishing.

Akoya cultured pearls are produced in salt-water mollusks in Japan and China. They were the first type of pearl to be cultured, back in the 1920s, and remain the most popular and classic choice for pearl jewelry today. Akoya cultured pearls are prized for their smoothness, roundness, and gorgeous deep luster. Though they may look similar to freshwater cultured pearls, when the two are placed side-by-side, the Akoya pearl's superior qualities are evident.
