Size: 2.5cm(measured from the hook) Product Description: Freshwater Baroque Pearls, Brass metal hook What are Baroque Pearls? In simple terms, Baroque refers to the shape of the pearl. It is an umbrella term used for any cultured pearls which are not perfectly spherical/round in shape. These come in a variety of shapes such as coins, bullets, crosses, sticks and others. These are 100% authentic. Why wear Baroque Pearls? These aren’t boring. These make for very creative, unique and bold jewellery designs. These are very lustrous and glowing given how the bumps and ridges in the pearls interact with light. These are very affordable, as compared to natural spherical pearls. Disclaimer : Baroque Pearls are irregular in shape. No two are the same. Hence, the pearls in your earrings may differ slightly from the shown image. Every bit as beautiful, though.
