I love this Mother of Pearl necklace. The colors in the necklace can be worn with a number of dresses I have with varying colors: navy, tan, burnt orange and white.

The necklace looks good in person as it did in the catalog photograph. Lovely colors well made, lies properly.

The mother-of-pearl necklace was very well-made and the colors are great. I have a similar necklace that I did purchase from a different provider and love the look and feel. However, the Smithsonian necklace was advertised on the web site and in the catalog as having 6 strands but it only had 5. I called customer service and alerted them to the fact that the description of the product needed to be updated. Additionally, I asked for a larger box as this purchase is a birthday gift and one I received was quite small for the lengthy necklace. I was told that the Smithsonian could not send me a more appropriately sized box. I am on the hunt for a proper box for the gift I will be send to a friend.

First, there are NOT six strands as described, just five. Second, there is almost no blue in the necklace at all, yet it is described as "navy!" I am very disappointed.
