Akoya pearls are the white or cream colored pearls one immediately thinks of when envisioning the classic pearl necklace or pearl earrings. Cultured in saltwater mollusks, these round and highly lustrous pearls are a wardrobe staple — and these stud earrings are the perfect size for an adult who's looking for a pair of earrings with gravitas.

Available in 8mm, 8.5mm, or 9mm, these lustrous pearls are decidedly white with subtle undertones of gray and yellow. They're secured to an 18 karat white gold post and backed by a scalloped cup. A tight plastic fastener, which keeps them secure and snug against the earlobe, is included.
