 Lovely Wedding Gift Aug 14, 2008
These pearls were beautiful, I purchased them for my bridesmaids to wear at my wedding with their rust-colored dresses and they were absolutley beautiful. The pearls were slightly flawed and uneven but nothing very noticable. They had a great luster and looked very natural. The biggest problem was I ordered 3 and couldn't get a 4th. Disappointing! Other then that they were a great purchase, I was impressed.
 Amazing necklace! Aug 04, 2008
I love this necklace which was purchased as a gift because its pearls look very beautiful- even color and luster. Recommend it.
Fabulousity! Jul 21, 2008
My husband bought these as a wedding gift for me. They are beautiful, heavy, and lustrous. You will be amazed at what you get for the money. I was skeptical, but they are gorgeous!
Beautiful! May 20, 2008
These pearls are beautiful! They aren't perfectly smooth or round, but they have a great shine to them and they feel heavy in a good way. The pearls are an ivory color. I am very happy with them!

A Great Treat at a GREAT bargain! Double bonus! Mar 14, 2008
Buying jewelry online is a hit or miss, and I wasn't expecting much at the great price during a gold box promo. Also, I tend to be on the pickier side.
When I first got this, at first touch it felt nice and cool in the hand as all pearls does and should; the weight was very substantial, and the earrings, a little flatter than round was well made.
However, boy did I STRUGGLE with the clasp! And usually I have no issues with fishhook clasp. I literally played with it for at least 30mins, as I was trying hard not to put any strain on the delicate strand. However, once I figured it out, it's pretty easy now and I can easily get it on and off.
The pearls themself has a nice sheen to them, is a creamy white color and is pretty uniform in size. However, there are blemishes, but I like that as it makes it more unique. (I also have a few other strands, one being from over seas given as a gift from a soldier when he was there that was very costly, but unfortunately, the strand broke and I've been procrastinating to get them restrung.) The blemishes are 'natural' looking and not the fake plastic looking flaws some pearls have, and at a distant, you can't really see they're baroque.
I'm only 5' barely weighing in the triple digits and am 27 years old, so these are pretty big on me, but I like unique big bold jewelry, and this definitely screams that, and that's not really something someone says about pearls! So I'm very pleased. The 17" is very nice! I love the length! It's just perfect! Since the pearls are so big in size and heavy in weight, 16" would given me that 'suffocating' feeling which I can't stand for more than say an hour, and 18" would be wayyyyy to big for this type of jewelry on me. So this sits perfectly on my neckline. However, my mother, who is 62 and a bit on the heavier side, did not appreciate the length at all. So be weary with that. That being said, it looks great with all types of shirts such as boat, crew neck, v-neck etc. Also, the color and sheen to it looks wonderful with any color combination! These can be dressed up or worn casually. I can pull this off with jeans and a nice shirt, but would have no problems wearing this with a dressier outfit. (However, usually when I'm really dressed up, I tend to go for diamonds...but that's just me =)
The earrings are very BIG! So big that when I wear them, I have to take out my second piercing, otherwise both earrings would be smushed together. Then again, pearls look classier by themself, then with all my earrings in my ears. (I have a total of 7 ear piercings, 4 on my left, and 3 on my right, and 3 of them are cartiledge piercings.) Like I said above, the pearls on the earrings are 'flatter' but that's also a good thing as it doesnt sit too high up on your ears, but just perfect since it doesnt get in the way or feel uncomfy. These earrings are also well made; no glue or nothing to be seen!
All in all, these were a real bargain for the price! I would have been happy with just the necklace, so I view the earrings as an added bonus. I would NOT be surprised if I saw just the earrings alone for the price I paid, as this set is realy well made.
I am very happy with this item and will definitely recommend! However, I wouldn't purchase this for anyone I know...just because I like to be the only one with pearls this big and awesome looking! lol j/k...kind of.
ETA: If these ever go back down to the sale price I bought it for, I am DEFINITELY going to pick up at least another set or two, just in case something happens to this one. I wore it earlier with a black cowl neck shirt, and the pearls looked dazzling and just the perfect length!
