After buying Shiels 'south sea golden pearl' drop earrings and a pendant to match, I purchased these to wear with the pendant as another option for work or occasions when I don't want a drop earring. They're a good sized pearl, larger than I imagined from the photo and they have the same hint of gold colour that the others do. It's not yellow or gold but is more of a champagne colour. It's almost impossible to find gold toned pearls that don't cost an absolute fortune so I'm quite happy with my purchase from Shiels.
