Two strands of 6 to 7mm hand knotted freshwater pearls are joined by a white quartz centerpiece surrounded by white topaz detail to form a classic piece. This necklace takes the single classic strand up a notch in elegance as a shimmering mother of pearl lies beneath the quartz stone to produce a mesmerizing effect. The sterling silver composition is rhodium plated to prevent tarnishing and to ensure long lasting durability.
