Comments about Shanghai Freshwater Pearl Necklace:
Because of the necklace's length, I wanted to be able to double it up to wear as a shorter, double-strand piece, but it is too stiff to be able to do that. Consequently, it hangs nearly to my waist, which I don't like style-wise. The quality and color and excellent; the stiffness is the only real con.

Comments about Shanghai Freshwater Pearl Necklace:
The lustrous colors are seductive --each pearl with it's own beauty. The combination of the colors appealed to me in the picture, but real eye candy when held and examined in natural light. Further, the darker pearls have beautiful shadings which make each one spectacular. I wear a lot of white and this necklace is so nice on white. It's a boost to my style.

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.
