Graduated Black FW Baroque Pearls 11mm -14mm 18" A

Genuine FW Baroque Black Pearl Strand. 11mm - 14mm Princess length 18" Strand with 14K YG Clasp. Each pearl is Hand Tied. These are ungraded. Pearls are organic & routinely dyed. Cosmetics, sunblock, perfume, and hairspray all contain chemicals that can dramatically dull the luster of a pearl. The natural acids contained in body oils and perspiration can also damage pearls in the same way. A good rule of thumb to remember is that pearls should be the last things to put on and the first things to take off. Wiping the pearls with a damp, soft cloth after you wear them will ensure that they remain free of harmful build-up of compounds that may damage the nacre of your pearls. Always keep your pearls separated from hard jewelry items such as rings or bracelets to prevent them from being scratched. These come in a pouch used for storage. Never store your pearls in an airtight environment such as a ziplock bag. Pearls are organic and do contain trace amounts of water.
