Ball & Freshwater Pearl Stud Earring Set in 14K Yellow Gold

A set of two pairs of 14K yellow gold stud earrings on screwback posts: one pair of polished gold balls and one pair set with freshwater cultured pearls.

Freshwater cultured pearls are grown in freshwater mussels through a centuries-old process refined in the 20th century, in which a small irritant is introduced to the mollusk and nacre layers form gradually around it. The result is an organic gem with a soft, characteristic luster that has been worn as a symbol of refinement and femininity across cultures for generations.

Screwback posts add a layer of security beyond standard friction backs, making the set well-suited to everyday wear and travel. The pairing of warm gold balls with classic pearls covers two wardrobe staples in a single set — one for polished daytime, one for evening. It suits a buyer building a foundational jewelry collection, or a gift-giver looking for a versatile, lasting present.
