Description A sleek 9ct pair of White Gold Drop Earrings. The Freshwater Pearls are held by a modern ribbed cone-style drop that has plenty of movement in the ear and will gently sway as you move. They have a 17mm total drop complemented by a post and butterfly fitting. * Freshwater Pearls come from oysters that mature in non-saline water, that is from lakes or ponds, as opposed to saltwater from the sea. They are usually not as round as saltwater pearls but over the past two decades have seen a huge increase in their quality, mostly because in the mid-1990’s the pearl-farming industry changed the type of mussels they used and lowered the number of grafts inserted in the mussel, and thereby the number of pearls produced. Freshwater pearls today are a favourite of jewellery designers because of their improved quality and availability.
