GISELLE

These baroque fresh water pearl earrings evoke thoughts of the sand, sunshine and shells.

Baroque pearls or gems get their name from either the French word, baroque, which means irregular shape or from the Portugese word, “barroco”, which means “irregular pearl”.

A top smaller pearl stud sits affixed in a bowl of 14k gold sterling. Attached to this by gold jump rings is a lower and larger bobbling pearl.

At the bottom is a small bead of 14k gold over sterling, adding a tiny but sparkling detail, giving these luminous ivory dangling earrings a look of glamour, but also adding a touch of understated class when paired with jeans or any casual look.

• 14k gold over solid sterling silver

We at Shorewood Jewelry believe in quality and because every piece is made of solid 925 sterling silver as it’s base metal (including 14k gold over sterling), we can genuinely call it fine jewelry.

Real Sterling (whether plated or not) can be worn for years, without turning the skin a green tinge, such as with brass. As well, unlike brass, sterling silver is hypoallergenic.

Although swimming in the salty ocean or a chlorinated pool is not recommended because the salt can ultimately corrode the silver, you can shower in clean water every day with sterling silver.

That said, although considered a precious metal, one of the biggest things to be mindful of when it comes to sterling silver is that it is composed of a soft metal.

Yes, although it’s precious, sterling is soft!

It is definitely more bendable and pliable than for
instance, stainless steel, which is a hard metal.

So remember to be mindful of 2 things:

1. Be aware of the chain on your neck when quickly pulling a sweater over your head, or it could cause the chain to break!

2. Be aware to be gentle with the post on your stud or hoop earrings. Although the posts can be moved, as sometimes they bend slightly and need to be straightened, remember to do it smoothly and gently, with fingers held firmly on the whole post, as you move it into place.
