All my jewelry is hand-crafted with pure and sterling silver. The gold color is done by coating silver with 18-karat gold. This earring is designed with white coin pearls. I ship my items well-cushioned, inside a bubble mailer in organza gift pouches or gift boxes, prettily packaged and perfect for giving. I also include a zipped bag for you so that you can safely store your jewelry when not in use♥ oooooooo¨oooooo
