These stunning pearl stud earrings feature large round golden South Sea cultured pearls, set on posts of 14 karat yellow gold with friction back closures. The pearls are very well matched for size and shape and have a medium luster and a diameter of between 9 and 10 millimeters. Their radiant golden color is the perfect complement to yellow gold jewelry. The rare and exquisite golden South Sea cultured pearl, a gem of exceptional beauty, is cultivated inside the pinctada maxima oyster. Grown and nurtured in the northern waters of Australia, the Philippines, and Indonesia, these oysters produce lustrous pearls that are known for their size, smoothness, and lovely round shape. Because the process is time consuming and the oysters are highly sensitive to cultivation, South Sea pearls are rare and quite valuable.
