I purchased this strand of pearls as an early Valentine's Day present for myself.  I am certainly glad I did!  This is the prettiest white pearl necklace that I have ever seen!  The pearls are a nice size - not too small, not too large.  Each pearl is clean and round and the color is a brilliant white, that has a glowing luster.  The clasp is a pretty, round, white gold safety clasp, and the 18" length is perfect for all attire.  You can wear these with anything.  They look rich and classy.  This is a heirloom quality piece of jewelry.  It will go to my daughter and granddaughter (eventually!!).
I also ordered the matching earrings and they are perfect - same size, color and quality.
I received my purchases within a couple of days, nicely packaged, with a hand-written thank you note.

If you are thinking about buying a strand of pearls, either for yourself or a loved one, consider these.  You won't be sorry.
