This item has been in my home for a long time. In the last photo, when viewed with a magnifying glass, it appears that a stone is missing in the lower right corner, but it's only about 1 millimeter, so it's very difficult to see. Please be aware of this before purchasing. The pearls are strung through holes drilled on either side of the longer side, creating volume and a plump, attractive appearance. The jewelry box is not included as I have disposed of it.
