GREENLEAF & CROSBY Convertible Pearls Earrings 18Kt Gold With 5.24 Ctw Diamonds
Convertible dangle cluster earrings with South-Seas pearls by Greenleaf & Crosby.
This is a breathtaking pair of classic dangles-drops cluster earrings crafted in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with high polished finish. This statement pair is a one-of-a-kind created by the Greenleaf & Crosby goldsmiths, back in the 1970. They are embellished with two gorgeous South-Seas white pearls and a great selection of sixty natural white colorless diamonds. They are fitted at the reverse with comfortable French omega backs for fastening clips and the addition of gold posts for pierced ears may be easily installed on special request. These convertible earrings, typically called day & night, are extremely versatile as they can be worn three ways for different occasions. The top part can be detached for more casual, everyday wear, the bottom part can be used as a pair of ear-clips, and finally, they can be fully assembled for more classic and formal activities. This way, you have three earrings in one, with very unusual and ingenious conversion systems.
South-Seas Pearls
South Sea pearls are prized for their large size and unique colors, as well as their high luster and smooth surface. They are also known for their rarity, as they are more difficult to cultivate than other types of pearls. The Pinctada maxima oyster can take up to five years to produce a single South Sea pearl, whereas more common freshwater oysters can take as little as three months and create dozens of pearls. This long cultivation process makes South Sea pearls rarer and more expensive. If you're looking to invest in a design to hand down to future generations, South Sea pearl jewelry is ideal. Highly sought after, these luxurious pearls are prized for their lusters, and make for distinctive legacy designs.
