18 Karat White Gold and Natural Gray Color Cultured Pearl Necklace

The long graduated single-strand composed of 60 natural gray color cultured pearls measuring approximately 15.0 to 12.3 mm., completed by a ropetwist ball clasp, length 34½ inches.

The cultured pearls are an attractive silvery grey color, deeper in tone than seen in the printed catalogue, with very soft rose overtones; they have high luster and nice smooth skins, with some minor blemishing to some pearls evident under magnification or very close inspection. The pearls are well-matched and come together to create a very appealing strand. In very good condition.
