Fine Biwa Pearl Sterling Silver Filagree Necklace & Earrings by Israeli Artist

One of a kind artist designed and handmade necklace and matching earring set. Real Biwa Pearls from Lake Biwa in Japan. Measurements: Necklace is 10 inches long x 2. Chain is 8.5 x 2 = 17" plus pendant which is 1 & 3/4" long. See pictures. This is a delicate and modern interpretation of filagree - feminine and graceful. by an Israeli artist who goes by the name Yehuda. He had the most unusual and attractive designs - each a one of a kind creation inspired by the pearls he had to work with. There are no two alike. I think they look like mermaid's jewelry. This necklace and pair of pierced earrings are light & delicate. The earrings will not weight down & hurt sensitive ears. And the necklace will not leave you with a tired neck from holding up the weight of a heavy neckpiece. These pieces of jewelry are well made and meant to last a lifetime and then become heirlooms. You should maintain them by gently polishing them with a silver polishing cloth. Do not immerse them in liquid silver cleaner as it will damage the pearls. These are real Biwa pearls from Lake Biwa in Japan. I cannot insert a link to read about them here as Poshmark does not allow it, but you can Google Biwa pearls and read about them. Also, Lake Biwa in Japan is now severely threatened by pollution so, if pearls interest you, it is a good idea to acquire some soon.  This is new jewelry in pristine condition. It has not been worn.
