I love these earrings since I received my first pair 18 years ago ! I have had the white pearl earrings before and always seem to lose one and need a replacement . so, I was not too alarmed when the pearl fell out of its mounting since I have a spare; however, if it was the only pair I was going to own, I would not be happy . I will have to have a jeweler set the pearl back in. I have these same style earrings in many colors . clear stones to grey, turquoise, gold, etc. they are the best to wearSee full review
