At 9.5-10.5mm, these cultured freshwater pearls sit at the larger end of the freshwater size spectrum - a size range that delivers unmistakable presence at the neckline and the kind of luster surface area that makes the natural depth of genuine pearl nacre fully legible. Larger freshwater pearls are a compelling value proposition: they approach the visual scale of South Sea pearls at a fraction of the price point, making this necklace a genuine quality investment for pearl wearers who know what they are looking at. The near-round shape means each pearl carries nearly the visual impact of a perfectly round pearl while retaining the natural character that distinguishes cultured pearls from simulated alternatives. The rhodium over sterling silver setting keeps the clasp clean and tarnish-resistant. This is a foundational pearl necklace for the wearer ready to move beyond a starter strand. Specifications: Metal: rhodium over sterling silver. Stone: white cultured freshwater pearl, 9.5-10.5mm, near-round, natural cultured. Closure: spring ring clasp. Approx. 3/8" W.
