I hand strung 10mm, AAA grade white pearls to make this necklace. Every 6th pearl is a sterling silver plated open stardust accent bead. The pendant is an ornate silver twist pearl cage that holds a sterling silver plated open stardust bead and hangs from sterling silver connecting rings. The clasp is an ornate silver Art Nouveau pave' clasp with sterling silver connecting rings. The necklace is approximately 17.5" in length. ✨It is exquisite. * Your purchase will arrive in pretty packaging >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CARING FOR PEARLS: * To keep freshwater pearls lustrous and prevent damage, follow the "last on, first off" rule: they should be the final touch after you've applied makeup, perfume, and hairspray, and the first thing you remove when you get home. DAILY WEAR TIPS: * Avoid Chemicals: Hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics contain acids that can dull or pit the pearl's nacre. * Skip the Gym & Pool: Remove pearls before exercising, as perspiration is acidic. Avoid swimming pools and hot tubs, as chlorine can eat away at nacre and the epoxy holding pearls in place. *Wear Them Often: Pearls actually benefit from the natural oils of your skin, which help keep them hydrated and shiny.
