These freshwater pearls are a delicate gray color filled with soft pink highlights. The nacre is thick and has no holes showing the irritant bead beneath. There is good size and shape uniformity within the strand. The diamond is flat, measuring about 4 mm wide. The pearls are mostly smooth, but some faces of the pearls do have a few rough patches. This strand would be great to cut apart for earrings. Each strand is 16 inches long and contains approximately 38 pearls.
