Pearls of wisdom, gathered together with beads of polished bone from Kenya, faceted mother-of-pearl teardrops, and white coral beads are connected by their softness of luster and creamy colors...and also by an antique mother-of-pearl buckle. Now the clasp of the design, the carved buckle is a timeless classic in its shape and scale and may be worn at the side to show off its subtle shimmer or at back to allow the beads to be the main event. Either way, it's a wise move wearing this lovely. Measures 18" in length, shortest strand.
