14ct Yellow Gold Cultured Pearl and Diamond Drop Earrings - 17-18mm Round Pearls, AA Grade, Diamond Huggie Hoop, Latch Back



Overview

A refined pair of pearl drop earrings with a design point of difference: rather than a simple shepherd's hook, each earring uses a small yellow gold huggie hoop with a single row of 10 round brilliant-cut diamonds micro-claw set along the outer face. The large cultured pearl is suspended from the bottom of the hoop via a polished gold cap and jump ring, combining the classic appeal of pearl drop earrings with the sparkle of a diamond huggie in a single piece. The latch-back closure gives these earrings a secure, comfortable wear.



The pearls are 17-18mm round cultured pearls in pinkish-white with a rosé/silver overtone, AA grade, with medium-high lustre and a soft iridescent orient visible across the surface. At 16.85-17.56mm these are large pearls that make a confident statement. Natural slight to medium surface blemishing is consistent with the AA grade and the stone size.
