Sterling Silver Multi-Color Pastel 4-8mm Graduated Freshwater Cultured Pearl Necklace, 18"

Venture beyond classic white and enjoy the rich pastel tones of this beautiful multi-color graduated pearl necklace. Freshwater cultured pearls, in shades of peach, pink, and mauve, are graduated in size and individually knotted on an 18-inch strand that's finished with a sterling silver filigree fishhook clasp. The pearls are well-matched for size and shape and have a diameter that ranges between 4mm and 8mm. With its fresh, feminine colors and lovely shine, this necklace makes a wonderful addition to your collection.

At the promotional price of $24.99 that I paid for this necklace, it was more than worth the price. The pearls have good luster, minor blemishes, and are evenly graduated. The multi-colored pearls might not be for everyone, but I like it for a less formal, yet still classic look. The necklace is knotted between each pearl. (This traditional method of stringing pearls prevents the pearls from flying everywhere if the strand is broken.) The only criticism I have is that the stringing seems a bit tight, and there are slight kinks in the necklace. I'm waiting to see if it loosens up a bit with hanging so that it drapes better. If not, I'll restring it, which is not a problem if you know how. (If you had to pay a jeweler to restring, it might cost more than it's worth.)
