A 7-8mm black cultured freshwater pearl suspended as a drop on a rhodium over sterling silver chain - the pearl necklace that has nothing in common with traditional pearl strands. The single black pearl at approximately 1/2 inch width creates a focused, minimal statement that lets the pearl's deep color and natural luster carry the entire piece. A spring ring clasp keeps the chain secure. Black pearl against silver creates a high-contrast combination that photographs dramatically and wears with equal versatility from a casual weekend look to a dressed-up evening. The pearl necklace for those who find white pearl strands too conventional.
