I made these using gold plated brass push back earrings that feature 3 gold butterflies each. There is an AAA grade 8mm purple pearl on each with an 18k gold plated bail and hangs from an 18k gold plated connecting ring. * 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.
