So impressive!
I love this piece! It is so cute and it is large enough to make a statement, but not too large. So you can tell it is an octopus! The pearl is quite pretty and has a very nice sheen to it. The bail has a sweet design on it which shows attention to detail. The description said the cord would be about 18 or 20 inches. Mine is 18 which fits but I would have preferred 20 inches. I can use another chain and the bail is nice and large plus I have an extender sterling chain I can add to the cord. It looks nice on the cord. I do wish, however that many artists would automatically use extender chains that offer the option of 18 inches to 20 inches. I think it would improve the sale of many necklaces. But all in all I highly recommend this octopus necklace. It is beautiful.

Prized for their beauty since ancient times, pearls possess a mesmerizing luster and natural glow. In the Roman Empire, pearls represented social status and wealth, and Cleopatra is said to have owned beautiful gems. In Greek mythology, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was born from the sea. When she emerged, the droplets of water on her body became pearls.
Pearl necklaces come in a variety of styles. The pearl choker measures between 16 and 18 inches in length while pearl necklaces between 17 and 19 inches are princess necklaces. Those from 20 to 24 inches are known as matinee style, and the opera pearl necklace varies from 28 to 32 inches in length.
