14K DIAMOND & PEARL BOW EARRINGS Length: 16mm Gold: 14 Karat Pearl Size: 7mm Diamond Total Weight: .07 carat Clarity: SI1, SI2 (slightly included) Color: G-H (near colorless) Rare, Versatile and highly desirable, gold makes beautiful jewelry of all kinds. However, pure gold (24k) is too soft to be used by itself in jewelry, so it must be combined with an alloy (i.e. copper, silver, zinc, nickel). Gold jewelry that includes diamond settings generally makes use of both white and yellow gold so as to enhance the diamond’s brilliance. Whether white or yellow, the gold in diamond jewelry is always true to it’s karat rating. 14k Gold is composed of 58.3% gold and 41.7% alloy. Once removed from the oyster, pearls are first sorted by size and then by color and shape. Because they are created by nature, pearls will have their own birthmarks - blemishes or irregular surfaces. Pearls with only a single blemish will be used for earrings, cuff links and tie tacks. Each pair ships with velvet-gray gift box.
