14k Yellow Gold 3mm Freshwater Cultured Pearl Children's Earrings

 (6 customer reviews)

The item description is very precise. The quality of the pearls is decent. The size is accurate (3 mm = 0.12 inches !!), and the earrings really very very cute - a lovely contrast particularly with dark hair. Anyone who has been hunting around for earrings with pearls this tiny size will know how hard it can be to find them. And for this prize, they are an absolute gem !
The only drawback is the fact that the screw-back does not quite work. The earrings are so delicate, the winding even more so that trying to screw the clasp on is extremely tricky. Alternatively, the clasp can just be pushed onto the stud - which works well. Just don't count on the fact that the clasp will never come off. It sits as tight as an ordinary stud, but it does not lock as safely as a sturdy screw-on.
In my opinion though, in the latter, the stud is usually so thick and the winding so distinct that it really hurts putting them on, and it is often impossible to insert them into small earlobes /...Read more

3mm is small. This was a perfect size for my second and third holes higher up on my ear. I usually wear very small gemstone studs or ball studs but I really wanted pearls for when I wear pearl necklaces but I had never been able to find any small enough. I got 2 pairs for when I want all four earrings to be the same size but I can also pair them with a 'normal' pearl earring that is 6mm. The nacre is a very nice quality and the shape is very round, not flat or misshapen at all. The threaded post is also a great security feature.

For those not familiar with millimeters, please look at a ruler to see what 3mm is.

I bought this for my pre-school daughter. The pearls look perfect and symmetric. However the screws are not very easy to use. You have to play with it to secure it correctly and my daughter gets distracted in this process. I still love it and would recommend it.
