The round beads, findings and magnetic clasp with safety chain are 14⁄20 gold-fill. Length: 7½ inches. Black Freshwater Pearls are not black as such, rather they come in opulent dark shades of grey, purple, blue, and green and have deep, shifting overtones (like green or peacock) rather than a flat, solid color. Black freshwater pearls generally have a softer luster, a subtler color range, and more varied shapes and sizes.
