A fresh take on the classic pearl strand, this necklace is made up of baroque freshwater cultured pearls. With their characteristic natural irregular shape and luminous shine, baroque pearls have a distinctive beauty that many women prefer over standard round shapes. Their irregular shape also makes them easier to match than round pearls, and for that reason they are a more affordable luxury. The white pearls featured here measure between 9 and 10 mm and form a 16-inch strand. The necklace fastens with an unusual hinged circle clasp that snaps shut for a secure closure. Detail
