An opulent strand of South Sea baroque pearls with a decorative gold and diamond clasp. The 29 well-matched, graduated pearls are hand knotted on silk. The pearls have a delicious luster like glossy white merengue. A 14k yellow gold double-fluted ball clasp is bead-set with a band of ten sparkling diamonds. In an exciting plot twist, four of these pearls and the clasp are a removable extending segment; unscrew the hidden drilled and threaded clasps and the Princess length pearls are transformed to a simple choker. So sensual and luxurious, these cleverly engineered pearls are versatile too.
