I make these pearl studs using sterling silver or 14K rose gold filled materials & Preciosa pearls. I do not work with gold plated materials as they are of inferior quality. Gold filled jewelry has 100% more gold & the metals are fused together, which makes the jewelry durable & long-lasting. The gold doesn’t flake off or turn green as is the case with cheap gold plated jewelry. Preciosa pearls are high quality man-made pears. They are lustrous, more durable, consistent in color & size, are highly resistant to abrasion, UV radiation, & alcohol-based perfumes. They also come at a fraction of the price. 14K Rose Gold Pearl Earrings For Bridesmaids Favors Bridesmaid Gifts Pink & Wedding Bride Pearls
