a lovely necklace, and yes the pearls do shine. well made with care, you can feel the love. the necklace rests perfectly on the skin, and is wonderful to wear. very happy with the purchase.
By having two sizes of pearls, the inevitable variation in size and shape is less noticeable. Each pearl is rather unremarkable, but when worn, it looks really classy.
This piece is long and elegant but casual and easy to wear. The pearls are delicate but not so symmetrical as to look molded, and the tiny brass beads give it a bit of weight and glimmer. I love it.
