Soft Whisper Necklace - 12K gold fill and peachy pink pearls

Description:

In her soft white blouse
Light falls across the book
In her lap
A single tendril of hair
Falling across her eyes
I whisper to her
"You are beautiful."

So feminine and soft, you’ll want to wear it every day.

This necklace is best worn close to the neck.

Total length of necklace is just over 17 inches (about 44 cm). Please let me know if you would like me to modify the length.

Gold curl is just under 1.5 inches long (about 3.5 cm). Peachy pink pearls are about 4 mm in diameter.

All components, including lobster claw style clasp are 12K gold fill.

Learning more about gold-fill:

Gold-filled components are composed of a solid layer of gold bonded to red brass. Gold-filled items can be worn daily for many years without wearing through (up to 30), and as per Federal Trade Commission standards, if the gold layer is 12 K or higher, the minimum layer of karat gold in the item must equal at least 1/20 the weight of the total item. Gold-filled items are also 50 to 100,000 times thicker than regular gold plating.

Materials:

gold, pearls
