Portero Luxury

Description

A dazzling flash of glamour in a modern selection of hues, compliments of Rachelle Epstein. An absolutely dazzling assemblage of gems takes center stage in this dramatic nine row necklace. A cascading waterfall of exotic pearls is alternated in rows of light and dark gray hues. Each shimmering strand of ocean gems is spaced by a refreshing aquamarine rondelle bead. The juxtaposition of contemporary gray pearls and crisp aquamarine gems results in a polished necklace that brings glamour and style to any occasion. This shimmering surge of pearls secures with a sliding 18-karat white gold clasp. Necklace is in excellent condition; pearls exhibit natural inclusions and imperfections, white gold clasp exhibits scuffing/wear.
