Another important thing to consider when buying a pearl strand is length. Once you
decide on what size of pearls you like best, you can then select either Akoya or South
Sea, whichever is most relevant. Next, you will want to decide if you like short
necklaces or longer strands.
When choosing the length of your pearl strand, think about the necklines you wear
most often. Will you want to wear your strand fairly high around your neck, on your
skin? Or do you prefer to perhaps wear your necklace over blouses, shirts, dresses? If so,
how long would you want the pearls? Please take a moment to view our Assael pearl
length model here for inspiration and guidance.
Beware! After buying that rst pearl strand, many people want a variety of lengths.
If you just cannot decide, we always recommend a 32" Opera length or a 36" Rope.
When wrapped around and doubled on the neck, these longer lengths can serve as
shorter two-row strands, but they can obviously also be worn long to their full lengths.
Happy pearl hunting!
