Why we love this deal
Pearls, like diamonds, are absolutely timeless, and they are a classic for a reason. The pearly sheen of gemstones looks stunning whether it’s set into earrings, in a pendant, or on a bracelet. All that style can come at a cost, however, and finding a good deal can be tricky when you want a new accessory without blowing through your monthly budget. Luckily, there’s jewelry for every price point, and right at Macy’s the Macy’s Cultured Freshwater Pearl Drop Earrings are marked down to give more budget-conscious shoppers a chance to accessorize with something new.
The linear drop earrings, originally a $350 purchase, are 20% off during a clearance sale at Macy’s. Save $71 and get the sterling silver-based earrings for only $279, just in time to gift them to someone special this upcoming holiday season.

Why do shoppers love it?
With texture and length, these earrings aren’t your typical studs. Measuring with an approximately 2-½-inch drop, the earrings dangle and move with every movement you make. The sterling silver “string,” for lack of a better word, hangs down and is broken up by three cultured freshwater pearls, each measuring a different size. Closer to the top or post, the earring measures 5 millimeters, and as you descend, the pearls increase by another millimeter, so the entire earring has a 5-millimeter pearl, a 6-millimeter pearl, and a 7-millimeter pearl. It’s the perfect size — the stones are large enough to see but they aren’t so big that they would weigh down the earring and your earlobe.
The post and back are also made of sterling silver. The lever back closure, which is built into the earring, snaps or clicks shut, and it’s the popular choice for a drop earring like this because it better distributes the weight of the earring so that your lobe isn’t weighed down. It’s more comfortable, and it’s very secure — a win-win.
