16-inch Baroque Pearl Necklace

Q: Good morning, I'm interested in purchasing one of the Baroque Pearl Necklaces that you have on special, and I would like to know if you have these in a shorter version, 16-17 inches. Also, if I send a check, how do I place the order? Lastly, will I get an appraisal and certificate for my purchase?

A: All of the exotic strands on the site are one-of-a-kind and as such are currently on temporary strings. This is so that you have the opportunity to select the clasp you prefer when you order the strand. It also means that we can customize the strand to your specifications. If you would like any of those strands in 16” or 17”, we would simply select 2 or 4 pearls to remove from the strand when it’s strung and knotted with your clasp. We remove an even number of pearls to maintain the balance of the strand which means the final length may not be exact but we can certainly get close. Those loose pearls can then be made into dangle style earrings, pendants or enhancers, or you can simply hold onto them if you ever want the strand restrung at a longer length.

If you’re interested in making the payment with a personal check or money order, you will need to contact our office to place the order. At that time we will be able to give you a total for the item with applicable shipping and tax if you are within the State, place the order for you, and remove the item from the website. You would then mail the check to our offices and the strand will be shipped to you via your choice of USPS or Federal Express.

There is an appraisal included with each and every item purchased at Pearl Paradise. The document includes a detailed description of the item, the replacement value, and in the case of a South Sea strand, a photo of that specific piece. This appraisal can then be used for your homeowners insurance.
