14k Yellow Gold Freshwater Pearl Hoop Earrings

About this piece

These 14k yellow gold hoop earrings carry three white round freshwater cultured pearls threaded along the lower arc, worn through a simple wire-and-clutch closure that keeps the hoop flush and secure against the ear.

As the photos show, the pearls sit clustered at the base of the hoop, their softly luminous white surfaces contrasting with the high-polish yellow gold tube above. The hoops sit close to the lobe — light and unobtrusive in person, with just enough presence to read clearly at a glance.

They move easily from a weekday collar or a weekend linen shirt to an evening occasion without adjustment. The gold resists tarnish in everyday wear, and the pearls benefit from being the last thing put on and wiped gently after wearing to preserve their natural luster.
