Golden South Sea Pearl Gaby Earrings

I gave the Gaby earrings a 4 star. But what follows is personal taste opinion. Nothing is wrong with the quality. First observation is the textured 14 K gold is made to appear more like 10K with the nonreflective surface. The pearls seem more champagne than golden. Maybe it is just the juxtaposition to the mounting/ reflection? If this earring had been available in 10 mm rather than the 9mm. that is offered I would have preferred 10mm. I would swap in a heartbeat. They are interesting and very comfortable. Love the ease with which I can slip them on.
