The pearl is white with a warm rose overtone and enough lustre to throw a sharp reflection.

A pearl fixed in place shows you one face and one highlight; on a chain it turns constantly, so the reflection travels across the surface and the overtone shifts as it moves. It is the cheapest trick in jewellery and still the best one for pearls, which is why the drop-on-a-chain has outlasted every fashion since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; background-color: #faf7f4; color: #4a3f38; font-size: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px; background-color: #9a8578; color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #ab9788;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align: left; padding: 10px; background-color: #9a8578; color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #ab9788;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6;\"\u003e14k (585) solid gold, hallmarked\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003ePearl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eRound cultured pearl, one per earring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6;\"\u003ePearl Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6;\"\u003eApprox. 7mm each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e1.81g for the pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6;\"\u003eWhite with a warm rose overtone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eGold ball and fine trace chain above a hanging pearl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6;\"\u003eFitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6;\"\u003eShepherd's hook wire, for pierced ears\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eStyle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e8ded6; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eSimple, moving, wears with anything\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fdf8ec; border: 1px solid #c9a84c; border-radius: 6px; padding: 14px; margin: 16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #9a8578;\"\u003eReal Pearl Checking Tip - Overtone Is the Tell\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0 0;\"\u003eBody colour is what a pearl is; overtone is the faint second colour that floats above it - rose, cream, silver or green - and it is the hardest thing to imitate because it comes from light passing through many thin layers of nacre rather than bouncing off a painted surface. Turn a real pearl slowly and the overtone moves. Turn a coated bead and the shine stays exactly where it was. These carry a warm rose overtone over a white body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.

If you would rather be certain, a small clear rubber stopper on the wire is the usual solution and costs almost nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. How do I care for them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePut them on after perfume and hairspray, wipe the pearl with a soft damp cloth after wearing, and store in a soft pouch rather than sealed plastic. Never an ultrasonic cleaner, and never leave a pearl to soak.
