Is 14K gold good for a pearl necklace clasp?

Yes. 14K yellow gold is solid gold alloy, so it resists tarnish and wear far better than gold-plated clasps. It is a sensible choice for a piece worn regularly.

What length is the necklace?

It is 18 inches, which sits at or just below the collarbone on most adults. That length works with crew necks, blouses and most office necklines.

They are cultured freshwater pearls, which are real pearls grown on farms rather than imitations. Expect natural variation in shape and luster from strand to strand.

How should I care for it?

Put it on last, after perfume and hairspray, and wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing. Store it flat or hanging, away from other jewelry that could scratch the pearls.

It is a safe gift for a milestone, birthday or first fine jewelry piece, and buyers report it is well received. Check the recipient's preferred necklace length first.

How does it compare with a 16-inch strand?

At 18 inches it sits lower, at or below the collarbone, so it layers over blouses and crew necks where a 16-inch strand would sit at the base of the throat. Choose 16 inches for a tighter, more formal look and 18 for everyday office wear.

About the Bloomingdale's Cultured Freshwater Pearl Necklace in 14K Yellow Gold

A single-strand cultured freshwater pearl necklace finished with a 14K yellow gold filigree clasp, 18 inches long. It is a classic, office-appropriate piece from Bloomingdale's Fine Collection, imported and meant for regular wear with some care. It sits among fine-jewelry pearl strands rather than fashion pieces: the solid gold clasp and single-strand styling are its main advantages over plated or imitation versions.
