~ OK, so I over did it with all the photos.
I couldn't stop myself. It was like eating pistachios. These strands
are so lux, I almost wanted to eat them.

These glass pearls seem to have a life of their own. Depending upon
the lighting, they can appear as a pale gray, the kind of gray you
see in mid-morning on Nantucket Island, when the sun is bright but the sea
fog hasn't burned off yet. All glowy, like this >>>

~
And then in evening time, low lighting, they get moodier and sexy
and take on a deeper-but-still-glowy cast >>>

You can see the ripples in the surface of the cabochon on the
clasp, just like a real mabe pearl. Surrounded with Swarovski's best
faux diamonds and real gold plating, it just doesn't get any better
than this.
~ It's a
tactile experience to feel the coolness and the sleek
weight of these strands as they glide through your fingers. You won't want
to stop touching them. They're substantial, with a good heft, but
comfortable to wear. Cool on the neck. |

OK snap out of it. This is a pop quiz:
To the left is a real pearl necklace made by Verdura. Today's
value, about $87,500.
To the right is Ciner's glass pearl necklace. Today's value,
$829.00.
It's a no-brainer if you ask me. |

~ The ten strands measure 17.75" long. The length
can be shortened by twisting. ~
Clasp measures 1.75" long and 1.25" high and is set with faux diamonds
making it special enough to wear as a centerpiece.
