These pearls would make a wonderful gift to that special lady in your life. Each pearl is approximately 11.4mm and comes in a strand about 24 inches long. Each pearl is unique with its slight yellowish hue and comes with a little tail attached to it. The clasp is made of 14K gold with a jade insert in the middle that measures approximately 8.5mm. It comes with one safety arm and secures tightly.
Baroque pearls are simply pearls that have an irregular shape. Freshwater pearls are most commonly baroque as freshwater pearls are mantle-tissue nucleated instead of bead nucleated. So the pearls are rarely perfectly spherical and can appear oval.
Akoya pearls (commonly known as cultured saltwater pearls) can also be baroque, but the baroque shape of an akoya pearl differs from that of a freshwater pearl. This is because akoya pearls are bead-nucleated and thus have a perfectly spherical bead within. So in the event a harvested akoya pearl is a baroque, it has a small tail that comes to a sharp point behind a rounded front.
