I don't normally wear pearl earrings because I feel they stick to far from my ears.  The earrings are perfect due to their lower profile.  The color and finish look great.  Only time will tell if that changes and I will update if there becomes an issue.  I have worn them a couple times for several hours each time.  I didn't have any sensitivity issues.  My ears usual aren't sensitive to most materials, but I have had problems in the past. These earrings meet all my requirements and I am very pleased with my purchase.  I think I will be wearing them quite regularly!!
