I read another review about the white version of these and was horrified the buyer wasn't happy. I bought the white ones for a friend who is over the moon, and the black ones for myself and my mother. These are freshwater pearls so there is some irregularity with them, both in color and shape. It's part of their beauty. This necklace is a lovely length, and the pearls are a good size. It's got those really pretty petrol colored green and purple tinges, as well as a nice wieght to it. If you've got a few spare $1000 and are after 18mm tahitian pearls, then don't buy these. If you're after a very pretty necklace you'd be proud to be seen in and want people to comment on, then these are for you. I'm going to buy some of the other colors.

My husband bought me these pearls for Christmas.

They arrived about 7 days after being ordered, appropriately packaged: secured in the box, in a protective cardboard box, wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a mailer envelope. They ship with a printed certificate of authenticity, a little baggie to keep it in, and a pack of five flawed pearls that are a little gross looking.

The pearls are exactly as described:
Moderately blemished (Which for those of you who are illiterate means that you're going to see bumps, lines and "globs" on some of them, it's not paint, it's the actual pearl material forming over bits of sand/grime. That's what pearls are, covered bits of grime, sand, and debris.
The pearls are described as being "semi round" which means you can expect some oblong or egg shaped pearls, but nothing really deformed looking. Personally, I like flawed pearls better than the perfectly rounded fake looking ones. I know they're real, and I appreciate the pearl formation process.

The luster is nicer than I expected, the pearls are shiny and beautifully colored. Black pearls aren't really black, they display beautiful hues of peacock green, purples, golds, and blues thrown over a dark - medium gray base. It's a beautiful effect, it reminds you of oil slicks or petroleum on water. It's a beautiful iridescent shimmer, you're going to be surprised with these.

The pearls are strung on silk thread and a tiny knot is tied between each pearl as to prevent the pearls from all slipping off the thread if the necklace breaks.

The weight is nice, these are weighty dense pearls, not thin coats of pearl substance over larger plastic beads like some companies will sell you. They're real, you can tell if you've ever held real pearls in your hand.

The clasp is good, it will prevent the necklace from just slipping off, but it's always a good idea to have them checked once in a while to make sure your knot isn't coming loose.

Remember, regular check-ups are key in preventing the loss of your precious stones and pearls.


The bottom line here, is yeah, they're blemished pearls but it clearly states that in the description, so most of the negative reviewers need to learn to read.

I added these pearls to my wish list and was elated to receive them as a gift from my sister-in-law for Christmas. If you're looking for perfectly round flawless pearls, this isn't for you. However, for the money these are an excellent value. No one notices the minor irregularities and most think they are far more expensive. The clasp is particularly pretty. My mother received much more expensive pearls ($180) as a gift and I actually think mine were prettier!
