* Pair of Mother of Pearl Earrings. * Solid Sterling Silver Bezel. * 2" hoop earrings. Flower Hoop earrings for all standard size piercings Beautifully carved mother of pearl flowers set in a solid sterling silver bezel with standard gauge ear-wire for all standard pierced ears. Both sides of each earring are carved with the same care and intricacy. Perfect for every occasion, from everyday wear to a special night out. Lightweight and gorgeous! 2" drop, 2" diameter hoop. Backings included. Nickel-free. For all standard size piercings. Mother of pearl is a smooth, shining, iridescent substance forming the inner layer of some shells. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent. Since Mother of pearl is made by nature, each pair is unique; the color of this batch of mother of pearl earrings is bright white on one side of each earring, and an antique golden on the other side. The unique organic beauty of each pair of earrings is dazzling. All pairs are matched to nicely mirror one another on the ears. The best technique for opening and closing the earrings is to gently unlatch the ear-wire, and push the end of the wire a few millimeters to the side (rather than lifting the wire up and away from the earring), just enough to slip through the ear piercing. Take a clear silicone backing (included with the order) and slide it up the ear-wire until it rests against the back of the ear-lobe. Then, secure the end of the ear wire into the closure. ★ Care: Buff the brass bezel with a jewelry polishing cloth to keep these earrings shining! I prefer this cloth: https://www.etsy.com/TheBlissfulCo/listing/1050406573/polishing-cloth-sunshine-polishing-cloth because it has a buffing compound embedded in the cloth to clean off oxidation/tarnish. Mother of Pearl can be cleaned with soap and water when needed. Wipe earrings with polishing cloth after use and store in a plastic zip-lock to protect from dirt, oils, and oxidization.
