12.00 ct. t.w. Simulated Morganite and 3.65 ct. t.w. CZ Drop Earrings in Sterling Silver

STERLING SILVER: Also known as "Standard Silver," sterling silver is silver alloyed with other metals to increase the hardness and durability. Generally, sterling is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. Some sterling silver jewelry is plated with 14kt-18kt gold and referred to as "vermeil," or "gold over sterling."

POST/CLUTCH: An earring with a post insert and a slide-on clutch backing to hold it in place.

CUBIC ZIRCONIA: once called the poor cousin to the diamond, CZs have since become a fashion statement in their own right. Perfect for travel and a little extra bling, CZ Jewelry is one of man's flawless creations.

BRILLIANT: A gemstone cut to enhance brilliance without sacrificing much carat weight. Typically has 58 facets.

PEAR: Similar to the outline of a pear fruit, this is a round shape that comes to a point on one side.

OVAL: An elliptical shape that resembles an egg.

SIMULATED MORGANITE: Simulated morganite is an artificial stone made to imitate real morganite. Sometimes known as "faux morganite," it does not actually hold any of the physical properties of morganite, as it could be made from acrylic, plastic, glass or CZ. Simulated morganite is very affordable and creates the same shimmering blush hue for less.

EMERALD: the birthstone of May, and from the beryl mineral family, the emerald has been a prized possession of royalty since ancient times and a good quality emerald can be as or even more expensive than a fine diamond of the same carat. Emeralds are considered the traditional gift for the 55th wedding anniversary.
