These are sophisticated, hemispherical baroque pearls. They are freshwater pearls made from Hyriopsis cumingii (Japanese freshwater pearl mussel) using the same process as Mabe pearls. They are not Mabe pearls, which are harvested from Mabe shells (Pteria penguin), which are farmed in limited areas. (Some shops may collectively refer to hemispherical pearls as Mabe pearls, but since the mother shells are different, I am listing them separately.) 【Product Features & Details】 ・These pearls have no through-holes, so they are beautiful from any angle. ・Small earring findings are attached to the top of the pearl so that the metal is less noticeable. ・Tilting the earrings slightly downwards after wearing them will make the findings even less visible. 【Pearl Color】 ・Gray freshwater and black Akoya pearls are generally treated colors, and often appear darker than they actually are in photos. ・Please be aware that the color depends on the environment, so those who are particular about color should take caution. 【Size】 The height and width of the larger pearl in the pair are measured (for round pearls, only one point is measured). The grid in the background is 5mm/10mm. 【Material】 Brass (Made in Japan) 【Options】 Silicone covers can be added for an additional 100 yen. 【Photography Environment】 ・Actual product images are taken indoors during the daytime with natural light. ・Close-up shots are used to capture individual characteristics and imperfections, so please be sure to check the actual size. 【To Keep Your Jewelry Beautiful for a Long Time】 ・Wipe with a soft cloth before storing to maintain its beauty. ・Avoid boiling sterilization. ・We will accept repairs as much as possible (shipping and parts costs apply). ...
