This is a freshwater pearl necklace. I've become obsessed with pearls and have bought various pearls, including freshwater pearls. I have over 30 necklaces, so I've probably only worn this one a few times. I haven't worn it in the last few years, so I've been storing it in a drawer. Please understand that this is a used item and has been stored at home before purchasing. It has a slightly unique shape, and it's a cute necklace that I often received compliments on when wearing it. For someone who will use it! Please note that shipping will often be on weekends. Shipping will basically be via standard mail or non-standard mail.
