The necklace came exactly as pictured. At first I was a little worried that the gold pearls would stand out too much, but the necklace as a whole is gorgeous and I'm so happy that I bought this one.
I bought these to wear to my daughters wedding. They definitely "fit the bill" for a mother of the bride. Can't wait to wear them.
Only issue is, one of the backings is too big and falls off. They are beautiful and excellent quality...
