This is an elegant pearl necklace. It can be worn for formal occasions as well as everyday use. [Length] Approximately 40cm It's a single strand, with the pearls being about 8mm in size. Suitable for both celebratory and mourning events. I was told it was a real pearl, but I had it appraised before listing it, just to be sure. Using a loupe, someone took the time to examine it carefully and concluded that it is a "well-made imitation." I think it's so well-made that it's difficult to distinguish from a real pearl at first glance. I have taken photos to try and capture the color as accurately as possible, but please understand that there may be slight differences in color. Please consider purchasing this item only if you understand that it has been stored at home and inspected by an amateur.
