Amazon.com Product Description:
A fresh modern take on the classic pearl strand, this pearl choker is so easy to wear and adds instant sophistication to your look. Semi-round freshwater pearls, in golden hues with a slight coppery-rose tint, are strung together on a 17-inch curved wire that stretches to wrap comfortably around your neck. The pearls are well matched and have a beautiful luster and shine. Simple styling lets you pair it with just about any outfit, so you can enjoy it every day of the week.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Mellow Yellow
This choker seems well made, but there is a lot of inconsistency in the color and shape of the pearls. They are a soft golden yellow color, but the dye looks strange. The necklace looks like the color would bleed onto your hands if you touch it, perhaps due to the sheen of the pearls. This makes it look inexpensive. I would not make this purchase again.

I'm not sure even SHE will like them.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Better suited as a white elephant gift than serious jewelry
This necklace is a perfect example of the old adage, "You get what you pay for." I paid $11.40 on sale.

The pearls are strung on a rigid wire that will hold itself closed unless the necklace is tugged on by children, pets, etc.

I gave the necklace two stars instead of one because ... Read More
