When you admire this double strand of akoya pearls in front of the mirror for the first time, one thing will be unmistakable - nothing quite compares to fine, white Japanese akoya pearls. Their iridescent luster and wavelike rainbows of orient put these pearls into a class of their own.

The pearls measure 6.0-6.5 mm, a perfect size to double up. This is considered a nested strand, so the pearls fall nicely with each strand side by side. The inner strand measures approximately 17 inches, and the outer strand measures approximately 18 inches. This length tends to fall loosely around the neck.

The pearls are individually knotted on twin silk and the necklace is finished with a solid gold clasp with a safety catch. Your pearls will always be secure.
