 Bad quality December 4, 2007

Usually, buying jewelry online is either a HIT or a MISS, i guess in my case this time, it's a miss. Theses pearls were all clearly blemished, and it's very creamy color (NOT LIKE THE PICTURE SHOWN, which look like perfect white pearls), the luster is true, medium as stated. However, there were a lot of pearls by the knot were chipped, those pearls looks kinda like it had been cover with cheap nail polish and now starting to peeling off. If you are looking for a pearl necklace to treasure or to show off, this is NOT it. Trust me, spend a couple more hundreds, you can find a much better pearl necklace that you can treasure and be proud of it later. My plastic pearls strand looks way better than this one (which cost me less than $5), and it looks better with my outfit too.
 Good Pearls for the Price July 23, 2007

If you're looking for grade AA or better pearls, buy one of the other necklaces available at Amazon. If you're looking for acceptable Akoyas with cream coloring, medium luster, good roundness and relatively smooth skins at a great price, buy these. Though several pearls have normal surface characteristics and there's no orient to speak of. This is a very good strand; since they're Akoyas, they're worth more than their freshwater counterparts in a price range similar to freshwaters in the 7-7.5 mm range (lowest price on the web).
If you have studied information about pearls, you know that Akoyas are much more valuable than freshwaters, due to the difference in production amounts--saltwater pearls (like Akoyas) are produced one at a time within the mollusk vs. twenty to thirty or more per mollusk in freshwater pearls. Also, saltwater pearls (like Akoyas) generally take longer to form within the mollusk.
This strand is commercial grade, as is stated in the description (medium luster), yet they're very, VERY nice for the price and definately giftable.
