9ct Rose Gold Freshwater Pearl Choker!!
Now that we have talked about the Clogau Company and one of the most beautiful rings that I have ever seen – let’s take a look at the Clogau version of a pearl necklace. This little beautiful is actually the brand new Cariad choker that actually captures the message of love right in it – and it is so ever-so-fashionable!
Freshwater seed pearls are actually strung together on this 2 ¾ (7cm) choker with an extension chain that can be adjusted to fit all sorts of neck sizes. The hard is actually a touch of the rare Welsh gold – as usually that can really only be found in all of the Clogau collections.
The greatest thing? This little beauty is on sale! £300 is the price, which is actually one hundred off! You should absolutely jump on this deal!
