A very pretty pieceJuly 9, 2008 I purchased this necklace as a birthday gift for my mother, and now I want my own!! The color differences are subtle enough not to be visible from a distance but significant enough that a closer look quickly reveals the variety. The graduated sizes seemed more pronounced than in the photo, but it just adds to the beauty.
BeautifulJune 28, 2008 I purchased this necklace earlier this month as a Gold Box Deal and it was well worth that naughty minute at work. The pearls are lovely and perfectly graduated. The colors are perfect for a casual-nice look and are perfect for work.
The only con is the length of the strand and it is a personal bugaboo for me. At 18" it just fits my neck, which is what it is supposed to do. I would prefer a 19" string but recognize I will need to special order with a jeweler.
I was amused by the packing of the pearls--I suspect that most of Amazon's jeweler is packaged this way: in a plastic ziplock bag, placed in a "nice" little velveteen bag, placed in a gift box with a "cotton" pad. I first thought that this was overkill but now realize that it is possibly the only way to keep the pearls, and other jewelery, from damaging itself during transit.
Beautiful Necklace, But ShortJune 25, 2008 I agree with the previous reviewer who said this necklace seemed a bit short for an 18" necklace. It would be perfect for someone with a thin neck, but on me it's just a bit short.
On the other hand, it's beautiful and I really like it. I'll probably give it to my (much, much thinner) daughter-in-law and get the pleasure of seeing her wear it.
I would recommend getting this necklace, but keep in mind it's pretty short. I knocked off a star because the length just didn't seem to be as advertised, otherwise it would be a 5-star item.

Purchased these pearls as a bday gift for an 18 y/o. The gift presentation ~ nice blue box with the blue velvet bag resting atop the box cushion ~ Perfect. I am extremely pleased with the appearance (high lustre, nice pastel colors) quality (graduates nicely, tightly strung) and packaging. Price was great. Would purchase again if I need another gift (I am a white or black pearl wearer, no pastels for me)
Pretty, but...June 17, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
It seems to me that it is shorter than 18 inches. I haven't put a ruler to them, but I know how my 16 1/2inch necklaces fall and I would estimate this one at 16 and 1/2 to 17 at most. Just beware if you have a larger neck or would like it to fall lower. Perhaps it was just the strand I got, but I also notice that the graduation was not very even (some pearls toward the center were slightly smaller than some of those toward the clasp). Also note the 8mm measurement refers to the largest center pearl, the ones closer to clasp are about a third that size. However, all this is only noticible with very close inspection and, like I said, maybe it's just a problem with the one I recieved. When I wore them for the first time I recieved many compliments. The pearls are more lustrous than I thought I could get for this price, have very few blemishes and are of very pretty coloring (from cream to light pink to light violet). Overall, I am happy with this purchase.
