Royal Pikake Earrings
The Pikake flower is so aromatic, and the white petals are so delicate that the Pikake Lei is probably the most coveted of all lei and is often worn during extremely special occasions such as weddings and graduations. The Pikake (jasmine) white flowers is referred to often as the royal flower because it was a favorite of Princess Ka'iulani, heir to the Hawaiian throne. The delicate white flowers are often seen strung into lei when just a bud, and the buds resemble white pearls. On this special hoop earring, the Pikake buds are carved from conch shells (these are NOT made from plastic or a plastic composite!) and the medium sized 1.5" hoops are Tidepool Love originals: carved, cast and hammered all in-studio! No solder marks on these hoops, as these are not made from wire and soldered...instead our signature hoops are carved and cast in one solid piece. We cast in Sterling Silver and then heavily dip in 14karat gold to last and last! Earring hooks and all chains are 14kgf. The two natural 10mm Tahitian Pearls are FLAWLESS, Grade AAAA beauties in a rich, deep natural color.
