I don’t reach for this necklace so I hope it goes to a good home. There is some discoloration in the wiring next to the chain. Description from Catbird: Catbird's Baby Pearl Collar is strung on thread and finished with 14k gold adjuster chain to wear at the perfect length for you. We’re keen on doubling any extra length of the adjuster back into the clasp to create a safety chain. The pearls in the Catbird collection are sourced from a second generation family farm where an emphasis is placed on clean water; freshwater pearl cultivation does not require the introduction of heavy chemicals into the water stream. *Solid 14k yellow gold *14" or 16" with an Additional 2" Extender *Strung on Hand-Knotted Thread *Ethically Sourced Pearls *Made in New York *$198 Online
