By having two sizes of pearls, the inevitable variation in size and shape is less noticeable. Each pearl is rather unremarkable, but when worn, it looks really classy.
This is a beautiful necklace. The pearls and lapis lazuli beds are so amazingly balanced. It is well made, the perfect length and can be worn with formal wear or a pair of blue jeans and casual top. I am so pleased with this and that I made the decision to purchase this lovely piece of jewelry.
