The fob has a simple pinback. Like Sueki, I often use interesting brooches to shorten or accent pearl strands. This was an unusual fob, with a crystal in the middle that looked a lot like a blue topaz, and a really nice plating that made it look like high-karat gold. I'll try to post a photo of the fob itself later.

The pearls in the rope range from 2mm to about 12mm. The SS drop is a little over 15mm by about 19mm.

Thanks to you all for your compliments on my "swan-like" neck...
