I purchased this a while ago at a store. The color is more yellowish than in the photos. (Cream to beige colors tend to appear whiter in photos.) The first photo is the closest representation of the actual color. I always thought the diameter was 7mm, but I measured it and it's actually about 8mm. It's an easy-to-wear size, and I think I've worn it more than 10 times. I didn't notice until I was listing it, but there's a gap at the point where the pearl and the metal fitting are joined. The metal fittings are tarnished due to aging. (The paint may be peeling.) I plan to ship via Yu-Packet Post Mini. Afternoon Tea
