Cultured pearls are real pearls. They grow inside living mollusks using the same nacre-formation process as natural pearls, with the only human intervention being the introduction of an initial irritant to start the process.
Built For Ease
Clutch backs work across stud, drop, and dangle earring formats, which is why they're the standard closure for post-style earrings across fine and fashion jewelry. They're compact, universally compatible, and easy to replace.
Quality & Value
Baroque pearls and round pearls are of equal value. Shape irregularity and quality grade are not the same variable.
