Faux Pearl Stud Earrings, Ultra Realistic Akoya South Sea Style, 6mm 10mm 12mm, S999 Sterling Silver, Hypoallergenic, Like Saltwater Pearls

$10.55




Details

These are ultra-realistic faux pearl earrings crafted in Akoya and South Sea styles — designed to look like genuine saltwater pearls while staying affordable and hypoallergenic. Perfect for everyday wear, gifts, or bridal occasions.

✨ Why Buy
• Compared side-by-side with €800 genuine Akoya pearls — the look is nearly indistinguishable
• Two styles available: Akoya imitation (subtle rainbow overtone) & South Sea imitation (larger, glamorous glow)
• 6 mm = everyday comfort, tested through sports, shower, and sleep with no irritation
• 10 mm & 12 mm = classic “true pearl” look, elegant for daily or formal wear
• Solid S999 sterling silver posts — hypoallergenic, safe for sensitive ears
• Optional upgraded backs for 10/12 mm — extra support, prevent drooping
• Hand-selected quality: I am confident these pearls can compete with 99% of imitation pearls on the market — I spent months sourcing and testing pearls from nearly 20 different suppliers before choosing this quality

📐 Specifications
• Pearl styles & colors:
 – Akoya imitation — Soft Pink Overtone (gentle blush), Cool White Overtone (crisp luminous white, closest to real Akoya)
 – South Sea imitation — Ash Gray Overtone (subtle gray with aurora highlights), Dried Rose (muted romantic rose), Manta Rose (warm rosy beige, versatile), Aurora White (bright classic white with rainbow sheen)
• Note on colors: Tahitian Peacock Green is not included for now — most versions I found looked artificial. I will only add it when I find a truly realistic shade.
• Metal: S999 sterling silver (nickel-free, hypoallergenic)
• Post length: 10 mm
• Sizes available: 6 mm / 10 mm / 12 mm (8 mm & 14 mm not offered)
• Weight: approx. 1.8–3 g per pair
• Optional large backs:For 10 mm and 12 mm, you can select “+ Large Backs” under Size. These are made of 925 sterling silver, designed to provide extra support and prevent drooping with heavier pearls.

🌟 Notes from the Maker
• 6 mm: Personally tested for a full month (ballet classes, sweating, showers, sleep) — no tarnish, no irritation
• 10/12 mm: Most realistic pearl effect; slightly bulky for sleeping, elegant for daily wear
• Akoya vs South Sea: Akoya = subtle elegance; South Sea = bold luxury
• Quality commitment: After sourcing from nearly 20 different suppliers, I chose the most realistic pearls — confident they outperform most imitation pearls on the market

📦 Packaging Options
• Standard protective packaging (included): Depending on order size, may be a mailer box, bubble mailer, or waterproof bag
• Gift wrap option:
 – Covers both decorative wrapping (value ~CAD 2–3) and the extra postage cost
 – Gift packaging doubles the shipping weight; to avoid overcharging, listings use standard weight. I personally absorb or subsidize the extra postage

🔧 Care & After-Sales
• Material note: Imitation pearls are durable but avoid strong impact. Sterling silver may oxidize over time — polish with a soft cloth
• Allergy risk: Hypoallergenic, safe for sensitive ears. Discontinue use if irritation occurs
• Care tips: Store separately, avoid scratching with other jewelry.
• Warranty: Covers loose pearls or broken studs within 3 months of normal use. Excludes misuse, oxidation, scratches, or plating wear
• Shipping damage: Report within 48h with photos of outer box, item, and shipping label
• Returns: Not accepted for minor variations, handmade marks, or natural flaws. Replacement/refund if materials are unavailable

✨ Notes
• Variation photos are for distinguishing colors only, not actual size
• Please do not estimate size from photos — rely on the selected size (6 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm)
• For reference (approximate, not exact):
 – 6 mm ≈ about a soybean
 – 10 mm ≈ about a pea
 – 12 mm ≈ about the width of a thumbnail
• On the white ring tray with only one row of studs, the large pearl on the far left = “Dried Rose” color. This is the easiest way to tell them apart, since Variations cannot show this detail
• Gift wrap photos are not included here due to space limits — please see other product listings for reference
• Materials may vary slightly by supplier — minor differences in color, overtone, or finish are normal
• Handmade to order — allow 5–25 business days if not in stock
• Each pearl is unique, with slight overtone and surface variation just like real pearls
• Thank you for your support — every order is crafted and packaged with care!
🌙 Each piece is handmade to order and usually ships within 2–10 business days.
If a specific gemstone needs to travel from my overseas supplier, please allow up to 15 business days.
Thank you for waiting while I gather the perfect materials for your piece!
