The pearls in my pair of earrings were not as pink as they appear in the picture. Mine are more of a champagne peach color, although they look pinker if you wear a pink shirt with them. But I like them anyway because they turned out to be an exact match to a pendant I already own. The Akoya pearls in these earrings are very good quality, round and perfectly matched as to size and color. The clutchbacks are not teeny tiny, but are big enough to grasp easily.
