The 6mm freshwater pearl strand - smaller in pearl scale than its 8mm counterpart but no less refined, and in many ways more wearable for daily use. At 6mm, these pearls carry a delicate, proportionate look that works particularly well layered under a longer chain or pendant necklace, stacked with a closer-fitting collar, or worn as a simple standalone at the collarbone. The 18-inch length sits at the classic pearl placement just below the collarbone, which flatters virtually every neckline. Cultured freshwater pearls at 6mm also offer excellent luster-to-size ratio: smaller pearls are not dimmer, they concentrate their nacre quality into a tighter surface area, often producing a particularly crisp, well-defined reflective quality. The rhodium over sterling silver clasp provides a tarnish-resistant, secure lobster claw closure. Specifications: Metal: rhodium over sterling silver. Stone: white cultured freshwater pearl, 6mm, near-round. Strand length: 18 inches. Closure: lobster claw clasp. Measures approximately 0.31" W. FAQ: What is the difference between this and the 8mm pearl strand (PW431)? Both are 18-inch freshwater pearl strands in rhodium over sterling silver - this version features 6mm pearls for a more delicate look, while PW431 offers 8mm pearls for greater visual presence. Can pearl strands be layered with other necklaces? Yes - pearl strands layer beautifully with gold chains, pendant necklaces, and other pearl strands at different lengths.
