Background:
I've got two pairs of GSS studs in this size bracket right now - a 10.5mm pair and a 10.0mm pair. Thing is, I can't wear GSS studs, they just don't work with my colouring. So I had a pair of earring jackets made, to separate GSS from skin/hair - I was planning to use them with both GSS pairs but they ended up much too large. They fit my 11.3mm pearls perfectly. LOL.
I've got an old pair of jackets that just barely fit the 10.0mm pair. I can't say I love them, but I don't want to put more money into making GSS studs work for me, so I'm just going to repurpose those.
Which leaves me with a perfectly beautiful and yet useless-to-me pair of 10.5mm orphans.
Anyone interested?
I've called them "14k gold GSS" on here before. Overtone - some pink and strong green, which is my preference in GSS. Lustrous, unblemished, and smooth-skinned, and perfectly matched in body colour, overtone colour, and strength of overtone. Y'all know how particular I am about my pearls. Band is 14k YG and is not included
Looking to recoup what I've put into them: $1683 by F&F or Zelle. I'll cover shipping within the US.
These were specialty lot pearls and I had Pearl Paradise use their "heavyweight" 14k posts (0.8mm diameter and 10mm long, same as Mikimoto's), and the earring backs are my absolute favouritest friction backs ever - link below, the 10mm pad size:
If you don't want the backs subtract $130 from list (what I paid - either that webpage price is wrong or they've gone up stratospherically!).
LT - please email at the address in the listing! All the LT hacks lately are scary!

Please note - earrings are in the bank until Saturday 14th. Just wanted to get the listing up today, if I don't it won't happen this week! Happy to answer questions in the meantime though, and provide more more pics/info Saturday!
