6-7mm Pearls, approx size, five baroque Freshwater Pearls of very good white, very good sheen, combined in the above necklace with four 4mm round Chinese Turquoise and six deep blue Afghani Lapis Lazuli rounds, 3.5mm, the chain neatly-crafted Sterling Silver.
Each of the fifteen gemstone beads in the above necklace has been securely integrated into the necklace with .58mm round Silver wire.
(Note: China has well over a dozen working Turquoise mines, not including those of Tibet, and it is said that today most of the small Turquoise gemstone material sold in the United States has its origin in China.)
(Note also: the term “baroque” in relation to Pearl refers to shapes that are irregular, less than perfectly round.)
