These Baroque pearls seem to catch the light and will add a sparkling effect with whatever you wear! o The gold filled spacer beads add to the sparkle effect too! The necklace measures 22 inches at it shortest length with an additional two inch extension chain. If you desire a shorter or longer length, I can provide the changes--just message me. Sometimes the Baroque pearl does have a flat side. After putting on the necklace just check to see that the pearls are set properly.
