This exquisite, antique necklace features a delicate row of natural saltwater pearls, individually drilled and hand strung onto an 9ct rose gold barrel clasp.

The largest citrine measures 10.5 x 13.5mm and the smallest 6x7mm. The are a gorgeous golden yellow cognac colour.

The Citrine captures the light with its many facets & its glorious shades of golden yellow.
