The Pearl Scout's gotta have pearls, right? Well of course I do. This is an especially nice strand of Art Deco era Japanese Akoya cultured pearls. I recently restrung them on pink nylon cord, which gives them a subtle, cool pop of color and the knots are nice and sturdy too. The pearls are graduated from approximately 3.7mm at the back to 7.5mm, the largest in the front. Pearls are an organic gem, (like shell, coral, anything that grows in nature) and these are particularly lustrous and pretty with a soft glow to them.
The tried and true saying with pearls is that they should be the "last thing you put on, and the first thing you take off" - avoid perfume, hair spray, etc that would stick to the pearls- add them just as you're walking out the door to carpe the diem!
