This was made and given to me by a friend from my past. I never wore it so it needs to go to someone that will. My friend was a custom jewelry maker and told me these were cultured pearls however, I can’t guarantee that because I have no clue how to tell. She also said the findings were sterling silver but again, I can’t tell if that’s truly the case. If so, then the connections will need to be polished. She did let me know she sold similar pieces for several hundred dollars but again, I honestly don’t know that for a fact. It is truly beautiful though….that I do know! Since this was custom made for me, I have a small neck and it fits me perfectly but if it’s too small for you, it can always be restrung to fit your size and style. There are enough beads to make two necklaces and even a bracelet if doing single strands. The beads alone are definitely worth the price I’m asking ❤️ 🤍Smoke free home 🤍I ship within 2-4 days of purchase 🤍Stand not included 🤍Feel free to ask questions!
