The shine and glisten on these pearls are just so beautiful. I had to make some earrings out of them. They are large, oval shaped pearls that sort of lay on their side, which is unique and pretty. The aqua is a beautiful complement, and the silver posts are sterling 925 silver. These would make a great gift or just the perfect complement to any outfit, whether formal or casual.
