About Pearls: In the jewelry industry, pearls are evaluated based on their shape, surface blemishes, luster, and the thickness of their nacre. Assessing these factors requires the experienced eye of a skilled evaluator. We have established our own internal standards, evaluating each pearl ourselves. We use only pearls that meet our criteria to craft our jewelry. Pearls that meet our standards retain their brilliance for many years, making them suitable for passing down to the next generation, even decades from now. 2. K18 Gold: We use K18 gold for its aesthetic beauty and the material's inherent durability. While K18 gold may develop a reddish discoloration over time due to oxidation, the material itself does not degrade. Polishing the surface can restore its original brilliance. Therefore, like pearls, K18 gold pieces can be cherished for generations, even decades later. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53455402224_5db9a1deb7_c.jpg In our design process, we focused on the gemstone's meaning, "purity," creating a simple design that highlights the pearl's beauty. Furthermore, in pursuit of our company's philosophy that "jewelry is meant to be passed down through generations," we have selected materials that can be used for decades to come. We invite you to enjoy these earrings that embody both aesthetic beauty and functional elegance. ▷ *Materials* (Baby pearl) K18 Yellow Gold, Akoya Pearl 5.0mm UP Size: Approx. 2cm (Hook: 1.5cm, Pearl: φ5.0mm) (Standard pearl) K18 Yellow Gold, Akoya Pearl 7.0mm UP Size: Approx. 2.2cm (Hook: 1.5cm, Pearl: φ7.0mm) Pearls may have small indentations on their surface, known as "dimples."

Our extensive experience ensures that we handle only jewelry of reliable quality. Each piece is crafted with care. Even those purchasing jewelry for the first time can do so with confidence, knowing they have made a satisfying choice. ---------------------------------------- ▷ *Care Instructions* After use, jewelry can become soiled with sebum, sweat, and oils. If left unaddressed, this can diminish the jewelry's original luster. After each use, gently wipe away any dirt with a soft cloth before storing. Oils and alcohols found in cosmetics, hairspray, and perfumes are detrimental to jewelry. Removing and putting on clothing while wearing jewelry can lead to damage or loss. Please handle with care. ▷ *Storage Recommendations* Gemstones vary in hardness, from very hard like diamonds to softer like pearls. Storing hard and soft gemstones together can cause scratches through friction. When storing, use small pouches or dividers in your jewelry box to keep each piece separate and prevent them from bumping against each other. ▷ *Situations Requiring Caution* It is best to remove jewelry before activities where it may get wet, such as bathing. Soaps and water stains can dull the sparkle of gemstones. Additionally, jewelry is sensitive to chlorine and sulfur, which can cause discoloration of gemstones and metals.
