This is SO pretty!!! The pearl looks very real. Maybe a freshwater pearl. This is so classy looking. It has some age on it. You just don't see these anymore. I'm old and I can remember having a pearl necklace and thought I was "special". I have no idea what happened to that necklace! Wish I could find it. I like this one because of the container for the pearl. Very different from most others I've seen. This. would make a great Christmas/Hanukkah gift. Thanks for stopping by and check out my other listings!!
