Medium-size hoops earrings with organically shaped, white pearls are a nice alternative to your average hoops. They have been hand-formed into a circle, soldered to form the ear wires, hammered for slight texture, and oxidized for a darker patina. Petite keishi pearls were then showered throughout the center for a feminine appeal.

Comprised of solid sterling silver 925 and keishi pearls. The earrings are one inch in diameter and slightly shorter than two inches in height.

What are Keishi?

A nucleus is implanted into an oyster, which either expels the implanted nucleus before the culturing process is complete, or defragments and forms separate pearl sacs without a nucleus. The resulting keshi pearl is very lustrous due to the thick nacre secreted by the oyster. http://www.pearl-guide.com/index.html
