This is an excellent twist on a classic pearl necklace. Every girl needs a nice set of pearls. 8mm white cultured pearls are knotted on a polyester waxed cord. The 17" version has a button closure. The button is engraved with a double flower pattern for extra peace of mind. The 33" is assembled with a hook and eye. This is made either 17" or 33" which wraps around your neck 2-3 times
