Description
Named after one of the most elegant and poetic names in Japanese culture, Miyuki, meaning "beautiful snow," is an expression of quiet elegance that lingers like snowlight on untouched ground. Each earring features a slender, elongated biwa freshwater pearl suspended from a 14k gold filled or sterling silver stud. The vertical design draws the eye along its length, creating a soft line that elongates the neck. Miyuki's subtle elegance is designed perfectly for casual everyday wear without being loud, or it can transition to a fine evening accessory.
- 4mm freshwater pearl stud
- 1" elongated freshwater biwa pearl
- 14k gold filled or sterling silver backings
- 1.3" total length
