Absolutely gorgeous with a very shiny sheen. So polished you can see the black inside some of the pearls indicating they may not have been fully formed. So cool! We?ve picked up pearls from time to time in all colors but never have we seen pearls this white and shiny. Clasp is 14K gold (marked 585) and pearls are strung together very tightly. Each pearl is somewhere between 6-7mm in length although most are strung sideways. Total of 57 pearls. See photos. Will ship USPS with tracking to winning buyer
