Multi-gemstone and Diamond Dangle Earrings in 14K

The lustrous layers of nacre inside a mollusk’s shell have an ethereal shimmer. This is mother of pearl: the organic substance that famously transforms a grain of sand into a glowing pearl. While pearls are the most famous result of nacre, the shell has its own beauty. Cut into geometric shapes or delicate inlay mother of pearl adds a natural organic glow like no other material. And like wearing pearls, wearing mother of pearl lights up your skin with a flattering glow.

14K white gold is the most popular white precious jewelry metal. Its pale glow is the perfect setting for cool-toned gems. Since gold is naturally golden yellow in color, to make 14K white gold, 58.5% gold is alloyed with white metals, usually silver, zinc, palladium, or nickel. These metals also improve the hardness, durability and affordability of white gold jewelry, since pure gold scratches fairly easily. To get that bright shine, most white gold jewelry is also plated with rhodium, a platinum group metal.
