Each white fresh water pearl is unique measuring about just over 1 to 1 1/4 inches long.  When choosing pearls I look for "fire" or faint pinkish overtones.  These pearls have been in my collection for quite a number of years and I finally paired them with gold toned filigree brass link chain and gold toned brass toggle clasp for a 30 inch necklace.  Wear it alone to make a statement or layer it with your other necklaces.
