Turquoise Nugget Double-Stick Biwa Pearl Earrings

Biwa Pearls originally came from Lake Biwa near Kyoto in Japan. The operation of cultivation of pearls in this lake was started in 1920 and was popular for decades untill the water pollution decreased the number of pearls produced. While the term Biwa initially described the freshwater pearls with their unique shapes from that lake, today the term is generally used to describe the oblong stick-type shape of a pearl.

Positively stunning, these one-of-a-kind 30-35mm oblong double-stick Biwa-type cultured freshwater pearls have a luxurious luster reflecting rainbow colors in addition to their creamy white shine. An eye-catching shiny bluish green Turquoise nugget adds a pop of color to this design. These earrings measure 2 7/8 inches and are finished with intricate sterling silver wire work. Durable and elegant polished sterling silver lever backs are easy to use and hold these earrings securely in place so you don’t need to worry about them slipping off.
