THESE GORGEOUS AKOYA PEARLS ARE 8.0-8.5MM AND HAVE CREATED A NECKLACE WITH OPTIONS BECAUSE OF THE AMAZING 14KT YELLOW GOLD CLASPS SET WITH DIAMONDS. THERE ARE TWO SINGLE STRANDS, 16 INCHES AND 18 INCHES THAT CAN BE BE WORN SEPARATELY, AND THEY CAN BE CLASPED TOGETHER TO FORM ONE LONG STRAND OF PEARLS. MOST IMPRESSIVELY, THE TWO CLASPS CAN BE HOOKED TOGETHER SO THAT THE PEARLS CAN BE WORN AS ONE NECKLACE NESTED TOGETHER AT 16 INCHES AND 18 INCHES. ALL YOU WILL NEED IS THIS ONE STRAND OF PEARLS TO TAKE CARE OF ALL YOUR PEARL NEEDS!
