A gold-tone open hoop strung with alternating textured gold beads and a single large cluster ball of faux seed pearls at center — the whole thing moving freely when worn, the pearl cluster catching light from every angle. The pearl ball has the dense, tactile quality of something that looks more expensive than it is, each tiny seed pearl packed tightly together into a satisfying sphere. Surgical steel posts make these genuinely wearable for sensitive ears. A considered, versatile earring from Avon's early 1990s push toward more sophisticated everyday jewelry.
