7.5 x 8mm A Quality 19 Inch Cultured Pearl Necklace
 7.5 x 8mm - Generally for younger women, 26 to 29 years This is our #1
best-selling size, and the last size in the lower bracket of more readily
available sizes -- a jump to the next size, 8 x 8.5mm, more or less doubles the
strand's price. It's really the only size one could call neither "too small" nor
"too big." It's a staple of any woman's wardrobe; she can dress it up or dress
it down. It's not too showy, and it very tastefully exudes an image of
importance -- a classic for the upwardly mobile career woman. It also suits very
well as a wedding-day gift or a wedding anniversary gift through the fifth year
of marriage. This fine quality pearl strand contains pearls perfectly matched in
shape, color and luster. This strand is an A quality, the first grading out of
(1) A, (2) A+, (3) AA and (4) AAA. The better the grade, the more luster the
pearls have. Luster is the mirror like quality of the pearl. It is the amount of
light that reflects off the surface of the pearl. Higher luster pearls with an
A+ grade are more valueable than the A grade. This necklace comes standard
length at 16 inches long. All the pearls are over 7.5mm millimeters and under
8mm millimeters. These pearls were farmed in the saltwater oceans off the shores
of japan. This is where the inventor of the cultured pearl made his first round
cultured pearl that changed the world. A great Wedding Day gift, 7.5mm x 8mm
sized pearls are ideal for any women. 7.5mm x 8mm is little bit more important
looking than a 7mm x 7.5mm size (slightly more youthful looking) strand. She can
also wear this strand at work or dress it up for evening wear. This strand is
the beginning of any woman's pearl wardrobe. It is 16 inches long and is strung
with silk and a 14K Gold clasp. The quality of this strand can be seen in the
chart above under A. If you are interested in a a better quality pearl strand
with higher luster, please choose A+. If this is the strand for you, please
request silver or rosé overtones and order. Otherwise, please visit the links
