Three white freshwater pearls rest inside each hand patina bronze peapod earring. Each pod measures 1 inch long. The peas (represented by the fresh water pearls) inside the pod, are considered berries by botanists. Common folklore regarding peas is that if you count the number of peas in a pod the crop will fail. Pennsylvanian Germans always planted peas under the sign of Gemini, hoping to get two for one and double pods.
