Are these real pearls?

No. The center is a Swarovski crystal pearl, a glass-based pearl with a coated finish, not a cultured or natural pearl. The surrounding stones are crystals and cubic zirconia.

They are small studs meant to sit close to the earlobe, roughly the scale of a standard fashion stud. Shoppers wanting a statement earring should look at larger Matrix or halo styles instead.

Are they good for sensitive ears?

The setting is silver-tone plated rather than solid gold or sterling silver, so those with metal sensitivities should check the plating before buying. Many owners with normal ears report no irritation.

Can I wear them every day?

Yes. They are light and the push backs hold securely, so daily wear is common. Take them off before showering or applying perfume to keep the plating and pearl finish looking new.

How do they compare with Swarovski's crystal-only studs?

The pearl center makes these softer and more classic; crystal-only Matrix studs throw more sparkle. Choose these for understated polish, the others for shine.

What comes in the box?

They arrive as a pair in Swarovski packaging, which most buyers describe as gift-ready. The box includes the earrings and their backs; no travel pouch is standard.
