these earrings are versatile allowing you to switch from strands to just studs. these have been barely worn (just to try on) and have been sanitized. Please note that the pearls on the strands are not threaded through. There is one pearl that has a hole that's not super noticeable from afar (came like that but missed return window). From the designer: Strands of gold with freshwater pearl accents create stunning movement and statement appeal. Wear as a minimalistic stud or change up the look by adding the dripping pearl strand for dramatic styling.
