Just the most elegant, delicate, lovely real pearls...tiny, approximately 3mm each, AAA quality. Rare to find this quality so small. If your browser makes the pearls appear yellow, please ignore that. These are lovely white pearls.
The pearls were hand-selected by me while in China (my son was my interpreter). They are strung by me or a partner on the thinnest, highest quality silk available. These pearls are slightly larger than those in NBJ354, and higher quality. I've played with these quite extensively and have come to believe that these pearls are best left not knotted, but I can knot them for you per your request. The classic treatment of beautiful pearls asks for knots between them, but sometimes the weight of the pearls, and in this case these tiny pearls, begs for a new approach. The same high warranty exists for all of my pearls. Should they require restringing, you need only return them to me for that work, which would be complimentary.
Perfect loveliness; the photos reveal 16", 22", and 33" in the first, second, and third images, respectively. The 33" necklace is long enough to wear doubled, as pictured in the fourth image. While just certain lengths are shown, you may select the length of your choice.
Please note the details around the 14k clasp (sometimes marked AU585, the European equivalent). The silk is protected by a tightly wound “French wire” sleeve, also called a gimp, that prevents wear from the clasp. Not all pearls are so carefully crafted. The gimp also allows for a clasp change without restringing the pearls should the need arise.
The pearls: average 3mm AAA quality cultured pearls, selected by me in Sammi’s lovely shop in Shanghai while visiting my kids in China. Sammi’s beautiful pearls have become a staple in my shop.
The clasps:
14K gold classic fish safety pearl clasp~you choose yellow or white gold
14K gold classic 4-5mm ball safety pearl clasp-you choose yellow or white gold
The clasps will be marked either 14K or AU585, the European equivalent
Two bracelets work beautifully with this necklace, NBJ217, NBJ231 and NBJ224

When we make longer strands for clients, the choice involves a good deal more time and expense, as another strand of pearls will usually be sacrificed to meet that challenge. What’s more, the crafting grows exponentially more challenging as the silk, which is given to tangling, must grow 5 inches to accommodate every additional inch of necklace. I happily put hours into these pieces and guarantee the quality.
All handcrafted jewelry carries a firm guarantee; in fact, pearls will be restrung by me in the unlikely case that they need that care. You need only pay the postage.
