Made in Japan Gold Leaf Pearl Post/Clip-on Earrings -Sparkles- Four-Pointed Star Freshwater Pearl

The star shape, familiar from emojis. Perhaps "sparkle mark" is a more understandable term than "four-pointed star." We found pearls in this shape and crafted them into accessories. Gold leaf is applied only to the edges of the pearls, allowing the gold leaf to enhance the pearl's luster like a picture frame. The subtle glimpse of gold against the pearl's white creates an accent for your profile. These pearls are formed by inserting a cross-shaped nucleus into the mother oyster, with the nacre layer wrapping around the nucleus. Therefore, each pearl's shape and surface texture are subtly unique. They are a small size that gently rests on the earlobe, designed to give a subtle "sparkle." While not an ostentatious accessory, it’s a unique piece that makes you feel, "Today, I'm shining just a little bit brighter!" Why not try wearing a different kind of sparkle than precious stones? Alternatively, they make a lovely gift for someone who always seems to sparkle. ※ The surface may show slight wrinkles or dimples, similar to what is visible in the photos, and each pearl's expression is subtly different. We carefully pair pearls with similar textures to create these accessories.
