This is an elegant pearl necklace. It can be worn for formal occasions as well as everyday use. The clasp design is also lovely. [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 spent time carefully examining it and concluded that it is a "well-made imitation." It looks like a real pearl at first glance. There appear to be no noticeable scratches or stains. (Please forgive any oversights, as this is a personal inspection.) I have taken photos to try and capture the actual color as closely as possible, but please understand that there may be slight differences in the image due to smartphone photography. This item has been stored at home. There are no pets or smokers, but please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive. Thank you for your consideration.
