Comments about Shanghai Freshwater Pearl Necklace:
Great price for a beautiful necklace. Can dress up (evening) or casual (my work place). Nice luster with varied colors will match most colors (yellow, tan, white, blue). Good length that can be worn as one very long strand or doubled-up.

Comments about Shanghai Freshwater Pearl Necklace:
I enjoy the fact that this piece can be used in so many ways. It is the perfect length for a fun "swing" type look, as well as being just long enough to be doubled for a more classic conservative appearance. The colors are muted and not at all in competition with each other or any clothing with which it is worn. I was surpised that even though these are potato pearls, they were uniform enough in shape and size to warrant a second look.

Comments about Shanghai Freshwater Pearl Necklace:
I wear this strand of pearls when I dress casually with jeans and a sweater, or when I'm dressed in heels in the midnight blue dress I wore at my wedding, when I go to the orchestra. The white and ivory pearls are a bridge to every other color that you want to wear, and the blue-grey and champagne pearls go with a lot of different colors of clothing and accessories.
