16 inches in length, this string of freshwater pearls is a joy to wear.Lovingly hand knotted on silk thread in the traditional style of pearls, this necklace is a nod to the modern bride. The soft pink freshwater pearls are each 12mm (1/2 inch) across.

A tiny sterling toggle clasp is the finishing touch to this necklace.

Matching freshwater pearl earrings makes this a complete set for the lady who wears it.

I love to string pearls - although it took me about 6 months to master it. For all the years I sewed I could not get the hang of making all this little knots appear where I wanted them to.

So whenever I find a strand of luscious pearls like this one, I'm eager to sit down and knot them so they show off their finest features.
