I bought it about 4 years ago. I had wanted more lights and yellows like in the photo but Mabel explained that the nicest pearls were more pinks and purples. The pearls are large and very lustrous. I have other fine pearl necklaces I’ve made myself and these really stand out. I’ve worn it so much the silk broke and I’ve re-knotted it. I’d like to get another one in mostly yellows if I could. They seem to be Edison pearls, really exquisite. Rona R in Alameda
