I made this strand using cultured pearls that are NATURAL in light purple color and measure approximately 9mm. The buyer will receive the EXACT pearl strand pictured :). The pearls are NATURAL in color, (no dye, no treatment, no enhancement, etc.). They measure approximately 9mm in size. I hand knotted the pearls and finished them securely with a 14K yellow gold filled clasp. The last two pictures shows this necklace layered with a different necklace in my closet -- this listing is for the light lavender cultured pearl strand ONLY. (I just love the layered look.) The buyer will receive a gold foil box, in case they are purchasing a gift, and I do ship SAME DAY :). Thank you SO much for looking through my items!
