These pearls are a golden to green color. A couple of them have darker spots on them and 2 or 3 of them have been drilled twice. The photo is a photo of one of the re-drills. The metal does test as sterling. The ends of the strands near the clasp have vintage aurora borealis faceted beads. Overall it's very unique. Roughly 16 inches long with a 1 inch extender. Please see all photos. Color and metal tones may vary slightly based on lighting, phone screen or computer screen adjustments. Photos are taken in white light with no filters.
