The pearl strand at 9.5 to 12 millimeters graduating to a center peak is one of the most enduring and recognizable forms in fine jewelry - the design that has been worn by every generation and remained relevant through every trend cycle because it is simply correct. These cultured freshwater pearls in the larger size range have the luster quality to justify the investment: a smooth, bright surface across a range of pearls that graduate naturally toward the center for a classic drape. The rhodium over sterling silver clasp closes the 20-inch strand cleanly. This is the pearl necklace that earns the phrase 'I wore it to everything' because it genuinely does work for everything.
