This is a choker necklace made of baroque or potato pearls. I do not know if the pearls are real, cultured or just beads. I cannot find any marking on them. I do know that the pearls have a wonderful creamy color and superb iridescence. There are knots between the pearls. The choker measures 19 inches from end to end. It is in very good condition with no problems that I can find. It may need cleaning or polishing. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by.
