.925 Sterling Silver 5-5.5MM Cultured Freshwater Pearl Solitaire Stud Earrings

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is used in these earrings?

The piece is made with rhodium-plated .925 sterling silver, which gives a bright white finish over the sterling base. Rhodium plating also helps resist tarnish on the silver underneath.

What size are the pearls?

The earrings feature cultured freshwater pearls measuring 5.0-5.5mm each, set one per earring in a cup setting. Other pearl sizes are available as options if a larger look is preferred.

What kind of closure do these earrings use?

The earrings use a push back closure, a simple and common style for stud earrings. This keeps the design low-profile without a lever or screw mechanism.

What do the pearls look like?

The earrings feature round, cultured freshwater pearls with medium luster, thick nacre, and clean surfaces. They show a white body color with a faint pink overtone, sourced from Chinese freshwater pearl farming.

How to Care for Your .925 Sterling Silver 5-5.5MM Cultured Freshwater Pearl Solitaire Stud Earrings

1. Store the piece away from perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, as these can damage the pearls' nacre.
2. Wipe the pearls gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue.
3. Polish the rhodium-plated silver with a soft jewelry cloth to maintain its bright white finish.
4. Keep the piece in a separate pouch or lined box to prevent scratching the pearls or the plated surface.
5. Put the earrings on after applying makeup or lotion to reduce contact with the pearls.
