This 18.5" long necklace is made of tiny dyed grey vintage "rice" pearls from Chinese fresh water pearl farms ( circa 1980's). The pearls are about 3x5mm and have natural crinkly texture. Each pearl is hand knotted on grey thread. There is a small conch shell stuffed with white fresh water pearls (I found this shell on the beach myself!). The clasp is a generous size gold fill lobster style. ID#KDN2523/KDJ800
