Gem quality studs are what MOLINE became known for and are a staple of any pearl lover's collection. 8.5-9mm is a statement size that remains quite wearable but also dresses up for more significant occasions. Above 8mm, Akoya pearls become especially rarer particularly in top qualities. 
 
Pictured pearls are shown loose in the size listed on an earring card for size relativity, but price listed includes stud posts and friction backs in 18K gold of your color choice. Please contact for alternative setting options including platinum and their pricing. 
 
Gem quality pearls represent the top .047% of all Akoya harvests across any sizes, and above 8mm is a lower percentage still -- these pearls are true rarities.
