Pair of Cultured Pearl Stud Earrings in Yellow Gold

This item consists of a pair of petite stud earrings held in a hand for scale, featuring round white cultured pearls. Each pearl measures approximately 3mm to 4mm in diameter, categorized as 'baby' or seed pearls. The pearls exhibit a creamy white body color with a soft, satiny luster and minimal visible surface blemishes. They are mounted on what appears to be yellow gold posts, with matching butterfly (friction) backings visible on both pieces. The construction is a classic solitaire peg setting, designed for a flush fit against the earlobe. The yellow gold tone is consistent with 14k or 18k purity, showing standard reflective qualities and a lack of significant oxidation or tarnishing. At least one earring is shown with the backing attached, while the other is shown from a side profile, revealing a straight, smooth post. The overall condition appears excellent with no visible nacre peeling, discoloration, or distortion of the metal components. Such earrings are timeless staples in jewelry design, often used for second piercings or children's jewelry due to their dainty scale. Based on the classic design and components, they likely date from the late 20th century to the present day.
