About This Item A chic yellow gold plated open ring and earring set with round cultured freshwater pearls and blue sapphire gems. These earrings feature a post and butterfly back for pierced ears. Gemstone Information The orb shapes and velvety iridescence of pearls evoke ideas of nature and purity. In some cultures it has been believed that pearls were ‘teardrops of the moon’ fallen from rain and placed in the heart of an oyster. Sapphire is famed for its beauty but also practical properties of strength and resiliance. Helen of Troy, famed for her lure and charm, was said to have owned a large star sapphire that symbolised her attraction.
