A special woman deserves an exceptional treat, and this rare necklace, of which we have exactly one in our possession, fits the bill. Made with unusually large 12mm round freshwater cultured pearls with only minor surface characteristics, this white pearl necklace is truly extraordinary. Considering that most freshwater cultured pearls fall into the 4-11mm size range, and only about 2% of each harvest produces round or near-round pearls, a round, 12mm AAA-quality freshwater cultured pearl, eight to ten years in the making, is extremely rare. A matched 18 inch strand of such pearls is truly an exceptional treasure. Valuable and beautiful, this is not a necklace you see every day. We've outfitted this special piece with a secure and easy-to-use 18k white gold-plated magnetic clasp. Moon River Pearls is now accepting special orders for other rare pieces.
