Classic beauty. A white south sea pearl (10mm) elegantly dangles from an 14k white gold chain. Approximate length: 18 inches. Approximate drop: 5/8 inch.
A plating of rhodium is applied to white gold to improve its shine and luster. The plating will wear off and can be reapplied by a jeweler as needed. Rhodium is a member of the platinum family.
