This is half a strand (approx. 9 inches) that was originally purchased from pearlparadise.com I am the second owner of these pearls. I bought them from someone who bought and then split the strand with someone else during one of PP's sales. I bought them to make a bracelet for my sister who has since decided that she would prefer white pearls. The pearls are 9 mm to 11.6 mm in diameter. Pearlparadise graded them as AA+ quality pearls and said that they have a 24 karat gold body color. There are 18 pearls total. These pearls have beautiful color and great luster. They are not perfectly clean pearls and I have done my best to accurately represent this in the photos. Because I am the second owner, I do not have any of the paperwork from PP about this strand, hence the low asking price. The pearls have never been strung and have no scratches. I have attached a photo that includes the 9 inch strand and a pendant and pair of earrings. As you can see, the pearls are the same color as my dark golden studs and are darker than the pendant pearl which was described by PP as having an 18 karat gold color. Only the 9 inch strand is for sale. Please email me at pearlover1990@gmail.com in case the LT email system is not working. Shipping with insurance is 10 dollars. Because I am a private seller, all sales are considered final so please ask any and all questions upfront.
