I made these using tarnish resistant 18k gold plated brass U-shape triple teardrop leverback earrings. Hanging from each are natural freshwater flat white shell pendant charms wrapped in golden brass. All connecting rings are 18k gold plated. * Your purchase will arrive in pretty packaging CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PEARLS: To keep pearls radiant, follow the "last on, first off" ruleāput them on after makeup and perfume to avoid chemical damage. Gently wipe them with a soft cloth after each wear to remove oils and perspiration. Store them separately in soft, breathable pouches to prevent scratches and dehydration.
