Fresh Water Pearl on Huggie Hoops

Fresh water pearls are grown in fresh water lakes and rivers and they are more organic in shape in comparison to their more expensive, perfectly round cousins.  
6-8mm pearl hangs from hoops made of brass with a 14k gold plate.

Brass with a 14k gold plate

Our plating is a genuine fine 24k gold. The gold is applied to a base metal (brass in this case) in a very thin layer. Gold plated jewelry is an affordable option to solid gold. You can lengthen the life of the gold layer by removing your jewelry when swimming in pools and especially the ocean. Also while exercising. Salt and chemicals break down the gold layer. Do not use a polishing cloth with chemicals to clean plated jewelry as the gold will rub right off.
