It is a material made by compressing a 14K layer onto brass with high heat and pressure, where the weight of the 14K layer is 1/20 or more 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. Also, it is relatively less likely to cause allergic reactions (for those who are not allergic to 14K). ※ There are individual differences in the color of the pearls. They are not a single color. Various colors such as white, pink, blue, and cream are mixed and reflected, making them look beautiful. The appearance of pearls changes depending on whether you view them in sunlight or under electric light. It also changes depending on the color and amount of light from the electric light. In addition, the way colors appear may differ depending on the monitor manufacturer and settings.
