Victorian Pearl Necklace, Renaisance Necklace                                                  Necklace dripping with pearl teardrops is patterned after one worn by Gwyneth Paltrow in the movie Shakespeare In Love and has also been seen in The Tudors.   It has 13mm imitation ivory pearl cabochons in goldtone settings with delicate "Y" connectors.  However, in this version, I added pearl teardrops to the design and think it makes the necklace more spectacular.    It is available in adjustable lengths with a hook clasp, and it can be worn low on the neck, or high on the neck as a choker.    The number of pearl drops will depend on the length necklace ordered.
