Visitors to Colombia may at first find the nation imposing in its sheer rawness and basic wildness, but this exotic land soon lulls them with its colorful landscapes and breathtaking views. Blue Gobi exclusive designer Martha Lopez borrows corals, reds and pinks from these views to handcraft these Colombian Pink Shimmer Earrings.
The 950 silver posts of these earrings are threaded with pink Kasumiga pearls and clear Swarovski crystals. The gemstone combination hangs 1.25 inches from the lobe. For a perfectly matched ensemble, select our Colombian Pink Shimmer Necklace.

The pearl-culturing region of Lake Kasumiga in the north of Tokyo, Japan, is home of some of the most gorgeous freshwater pearls. Designer Martha Lopez hand selects the best of these pearls to craft her exclusive jewelry items.
Inspired by Thomas Edison after a trip to the World’s Fair, Austrian Daniel Swarovski patented a jewelry-cutting machine. The highest-quality, full-lead crystals that resulted from this device became known as Swarovski crystals.
One of the most malleable of all metals, silver can be fashioned into fine and delicate features like the thin posts that secure these earrings to the earlobe.

Each piece is unique and can vary from the picture since natural material tends to vary from piece to piece
The porous nature of Kasumiga pearls demands extra care. To maintain their luster: 1) avoid exposure to household chemicals like hair spray, perfume and cleaning products; 2) gently wipe them with a warm damp cloth to remove body oils and perspiration; 3) when storing, keep them separate from other gemstones and metals that may scratch them.
The same care tips apply to the Swarovski crystals in these earrings. However, if your crystals become extremely dirty, you may wash them occasionally with warm water, a mild detergent and a soft toothbrush.
Silver 950 should be stored in an airtight container with a soft lining. Cleaning with soap and water and buffing with a soft cloth will keep your silver 950 shiny as new. Avoid exposure of your silver 950 to abrasive cleansers and bleach, which may cause discoloration.
