Sterling Silver Freshwater Cultured Pearl Necklace

A strand of pearls is a classic adornment that never goes out of style. This 18-inch necklace features a string of genuine white freshwater cultured pearls. The pearls measure between 6 and 6.5mm and have a semi-round shape with low luster and fair-to-good uniformity. A decorative filigree clasp, in 925 sterling silver, completes the design. At first glance, freshwater and saltwater cultured pearls look alike. But of the two, freshwater pearls tend to be slightly smaller, less symmetrical, and less easily matched. These minor differences make freshwater cultured pearls more affordable than their saltwater cousins, and a good value for the money.
