If there’s one thing I like to wear whenever I want to make my look really classy and elegant without being extravagant, I wear pearls. From my necklace to my earrings to my bracelet to my ring. Yes, the full ensemble!
My love for pearls started when I was in college. I got recruited by a political party to run for a position in our university’s student council. We had a “packaging” session where they suggested several outfits that I should wear during the campaign period so that more people can notice and remember me. One of the stylists suggested I wear medium-sized pearl earrings. At the time, I thought pearls were just for old people, but I soon realized that it gave a really nice touch to my overall look.
So it’s awesome that I got to receive this Kranich necklace for review. Kranich’s offers a wide range of jewelry from diamonds to engagement rings to watches to colored gemstones to gold and platinum jewelry. They offer pieces from well-known brands like Rolex, Simon G, Verragio, Ritani, Hidalgo, Belle Etoille, Swarovski, Pandora, Gucci, Burberry, Michael Kors and a lot more.
This one is a classic 18-inch genuine cultured pearl strand with 14kt yellow gold filagree safety clasp and 5.5/6.0 mm pearls.ย The pearls are actually small ones so it doesn’t take the attention off of your face. In fact, the simplicity in it highlights the wearer’s beauty. As one of my friends put it, it’s “understated elegance”.
And I think that’s how these pieces work for everyone in general. So yes, I believe this is a classic item that should be in every woman’s jewelry box!

BUY IT! This 18-inch Cultured Pearl Strand retails at $119 at the Kranich’s website.

I would love a strand of pearls. My mom loaned me hers to wear on her wedding day and I fell in love with them. I haven’t seen them since and that was 25 years ago. Thanks for the review.
Pearls just always look so elegant and classy.
Pearls can really dress up even a casual outfit. They are beautiful. I do not have a pearl necklace but I would love one. Perhaps I should show this review to my husband for Valentine’s Day =)
What a beautiful necklace! Thank you for this review.
Those are beautiful. Pearls add such an elegant look to an outfit. I wish I had a strand for myself. Maybe one day!
What a gorgeous set of pearls – they look pinkish like my mother’s set which I have coveted for years.
it looks lovely on you, i think everyone women out there should have one for that little black dress ๐ thanks for sharing
I love pearls!
I agree pearls are a great inexpensive (compared to diamonds)alternative for an elegant look that captures the moment as you make your way to that dinner table or wherever it may be. It’s an absolutely stunning look indeed!
those are so pretty, quite lovely on you ๐
I’ve always believed that pearls, worn day or night, add a touch of class to any look. They suggest purity and style as well.
I really love how pearls can work with a variety of looks, from evening elegant to daytime casual, adding a touch of class!
I luv pearl esp. the triple layers necklace & bracelet set! They’re so flexible as accessories from day to night time!!
I’ve owned several strand of pearls and I agree they add elegance!
I once had a strand of pearls. I had them on and when my daughter was a baby, she tugged on the necklace. Pearls flew everywhere. Luckily, it wasn’t too expensive!
Why don’t I see any male jewelry with pearls ?
I realy love pearls so much that when I was 6 my grandmother gave me hers.To this day I still have them and my mothers and other grandmas.I have been wearing them ever since and never cared what others thought of it.As you said it add a nice touch to any outfit
The 18 in is so classic. It fits so nicely with a great dress or blouse.
Mmm… love pearl strands!!! Such a classic and so classy!!!
Very pretty strand of pearls. I like pearls that have a pink tint. I’m not sure if that’s a natural color.
this is so classy and elegant!
It’s a very pretty strand of pearls, and I agree every woman should have a strand of pearls in her jewelry box. Thank you for this very lovely review.

Beautiful! I had one like that but it got lost when we moved. Very elegant yet not too showy!
I think pearls are really pretty. I can remember my mom wearing her and thought they were nice.
Who doesn’t love pearls? They never go out of fashion and look so beautiful next to your skin. I even love freshwater pearls.
I actually don’t like pearls much, but honestly, these look very pretty. I love your review too! I also like that the pearls are small. I think it’s the bigger ones that I don’t like. Thank you!
I too believe in the understated elegance of pearls. They add a classic elegance to any outfit. This pearl necklace that you are wearing looks perfect on you.
I LOVE pearls!!!!
I love pearls, no matter what age. Just enough elegance, but not over done.
I must say I always liked pearls and at one time i even had a beautiful pearl necklace but I let my daughter borrow it for a special gathering and I never saw it again-lol. I didn’t really like the way the pearls looked on me but with your hairstyle and complexion they look really pretty one you.Great Review Girl
I have never owned my own pearls and these are beautiful. They always look so pretty when you see anyone wearing them
There is no jewelry as elegant as pearls! They match every outfit and are always in style.
you always need a classic pearl necklace!
My mom gave me a double strand of pearls for a birthday once. It was such as special gift. Pearls are classy and timeless. Thanks for the review
That strand of pearls looks very classy on you. I used to have a nice strand, but they were stolen along with a lot of other jewelry. I am going to check out the pearls at Kranichs because I have always meant to replace them and pass them on to my daughter some day.
The pearls are so pretty! I love wearing my pearls. Thank you for sharing.
I too love pearls and am lucky to own a couple of beautiful necklaces, one a choker and one longer.
I have heard lots of great reviews about this jeweler. Thank you for sharing.
Pretty! I wore pearls on my wedding day!

Although I am not a jewelry wearer I would love to get a pearl necklace to my daughter.
I love pearls. Not so much for everyday wear. They really dress up an outfit.
I really like pearls myself. I don’t see people wearing them as much any more though. Thank you for sharing this
I love the colored pearls. Especially pink and lilac. That ‘s a pretty good price for a strand of pearls.
I love pearls too. They are so pretty and go with anything you choose to wear. I don’t think anyone can go wrong with pearls, so yes every woman should have pearls in her jewelry box.
I would like to get this pearl necklace for my daughter, she loves to wear jewelry.

That’s funny, when I was young, I used to think that pearls were for old ladies. Now I see that a nice strand of pearls can be quite expensive. If you want the best, it’s an investment that most young people can’t afford.
I really like pearls on my wife.
I love pearls. I would like to have a nice strand, but really don’t dress up often enough to justify the cost.
I am not that into pearls myself, but my mother is. She would absolutely love to have this! ๐
Pearls are something that I love to have in my necklace. This is an amazing write-up! It really gives me an insight on this topic. Thank you for sharing such nice information!
