They have been made with 9ct yellow gold posts and high quality butterfly fittings that are very secure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the pearls are natural, the colour and shape of each pearl is unique. These pearls look very similar face on but if turned to the side you can see their unique shape. When worn, they look like an identical pair but side by side they will appear slightly different to each other. That's the beauty of a natural product. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pearl earrings measure 8mm in diameter and arrive in a beautiful gift box with our signature thistle and rose gift wrap and branded ribbon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cultured pearl is a real pearl that has had a helping hand. Pearls grow when a grain of sand or other foreign object gets inside a mussel or oyster. Cultured pearls have a bead placed inside the mollusc, ensuring each shell harvested has a pearl inside. This technique was first invented by Japanese entreprenuer Mikimoto in 1893. It was such an important invention that in 1985, the Japan Patent Office selected him as one of Ten Japanese Great Inventors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCultured pearls differ from synthetic or imitation pearls because they are real. Synthetic pearls are glass beads that have fish scales glued onto the surface. Cultured pearls are exactly the same as natural pearls except the centre of the pearl, the part that starts the process, is initiated by man rather than by accident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePearl is the birthstone for June and the gem for the 30th wedding anniversary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christine Sadler Unforgettable Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59270610551158,"sku":null,"price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2102\/7121\/files\/black-cultured-pearl-earrings.webp?v=1794052055","url":"https:\/\/www.christinesadler.com\/products\/black-cultured-pearl-8mm-stud-earrings-9ct-gold-fittings","provider":"Christine Sadler Unforgettable Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
