  These vintage style earrings are very unique, one of a kind creations made by up-cycling precious Vintage genuine Cultured Pearls and Gold Filled pendants.

14K Gold Filed metal is not gold plated. A thick layer, 1/20th of 14K gold is permanently bonded to a base metal, usually brass and it can last a lifetime. Gold filled jewellery the next best thing to pure gold. 

PEARLS: are uniquely beautiful, satiny smooth, comfortable to wear, and they look better the more you wear them. Pearls absorb the natural oils from you skin, enriching their luster and preserving them.

   Pearls are rich in ancient symbolism, these gorgeous gemstones represent transformation, perfection, purity royalty and wealth. I am amazed when I look at a beautiful pearl and imagine how an irritant was transformed into a precious Gem.

   I think about how a how a piece of sand, shell, or other irritant gets trapped inside a mollusk (oyster and commonly mussels) irritating and damaging some cells (a cultured pearl has the irritant surgically inserted into the mollusk) then it releases a substance called nacre that forms a smooth shinny coating around the irritant. Over many years, layers of nacre build up and create a luminous pearl. The longer the mollusk is left in the water, the larger the pearl will grow. It's amazing to think how something that was once an irritant that damaged cells could become a beautiful, precious Gemstone as the result of a healing process.

   Pearls vary in color from white, cream, pink, peach and grey to almost black. The most desirable pearls have colorful hues or overtones, for example white pearls with a pink hue or grey pearls with blue and green hues. The thicker the nacre, the more shinny and luminous the pearl with be. Pearls can be round and smooth or have wonderful, varied shapes and textures like Baroque pearls.

  These long dangle earring are perfect for any special occasion and they will be wonderful Bridal Earrings, especially for an Eco Conscious, Socially Conscious Bride who wants Eco Friendlier Jewelry or for an Eco Friendly wedding theme.
