Vintage Gold Tone Faux Pearl Leverback Earrings — 1980s Pearl Pierced Earrings

A generous cream simulated pearl sits in a simple gold tone cup, suspended from a hinged leverback that opens and closes with a satisfying click. The leverback format sits a touch lower on the earlobe than a standard stud, giving the pearl just enough room to be seen from the front without any drop.. The pearl has good even luster and the warm gold tone of the finding suits it without competing. Classic and versatile in the way only a pearl stud equivalent can be.
