An attachment device designed to be removably secured to a strand of pearls or like necklace, such as a gold chain or the like, for the purpose of shortening the effective length of the strand and/or adding an additional decorative gem in a depending fashion to the strand or necklace. A casing includes one or two sockets each of which are structured to at least partially enclose a single pearl or engage a necklace along its length wherein two pearls or other necklace portions along the length of the strand may be engaged by the attachment device thereby shortening the length. A decorative gem attached to the exterior surface of the casing may be added to the strand by securing one or two pearls within one or two sockets of the casing thereby adding to the aesthetic appearance of the strand in a non-permanent manner.
