Estate item from the fashion jewellery collection of a dearly loved one. In her memory and to honour her heart, ALL the money from the sale of her items will be donated to animal rescue and charity groups <3. The Roman Company was started in 1973 and was active for just under 20 years before being sold in 1992. They specialized in replicating high-end jewellery with costume jewellery materials. This 17" (43 cm) strand of gray pearls in tones of silver and pewter sits just below the suprasternal notch, highlighting face, neck and clavicle! The pearls vary in size from those with a 1/8" diameter to the largest in the middle at about a 1/2" in diameter. I found the same piece on a site for three times this asking price, making this a true "clutch my pearls" opportunity! x-posted
