New 8mm Akoya Pearl 14KGF Earrings The shape of the pearls is technically semi-round, but they appear almost round when viewed from the front. The luster and quality of the nacre are good. These are "koshimono" pearls, so they are durable and resistant to aging. These are not Hanadama pearls, so there may be some minor blemishes or imperfections. What is 14KGF (14K Gold Filled)? It is a material made by compressing a 14K gold layer onto brass with high heat and pressure. The weight of the 14K layer is more than 1/20 of the total weight. It is about 100 times thicker than gold plating, so it is unlikely to peel off and is a material that can be used for a long time. It is also relatively less likely to cause allergic reactions (for those who are not allergic to 14K). ■ Pearls are a must-have piece of jewelry (gemstone). They have many uses, from ceremonies such as entrance ceremonies (kindergarten entrance ceremonies), graduation ceremonies (kindergarten graduation ceremonies), coming-of-age ceremonies, weddings (guests, after-parties), thank-you parties, farewell parties, reunions, and parties, to Buddhist services, memorial services, condolences, wakes, and funerals, as well as formal wear such as mourning clothes (suits) and black formal wear. They are also popular gifts for celebrations and happy occasions such as coming-of-age celebrations, entrance celebrations, graduation celebrations, job promotions, engagement celebrations, wedding celebrations, and childbirth celebrations, as well as for special events such as birthdays (June birthstone), wedding anniversaries, pearl wedding anniversaries, Christmas, Valentine's Day, White Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day. They are also appreciated as gifts and presents for lovers, wives, daughters, and grandchildren, and as a reward for oneself.
