I bought this as a gift. Having known little about pearls, I chose the brand with positive reviews. I was of course wary, since jewelry was something that I would only trust by looking, touching, scrutinizing before purchasing. Online shopping, plus the fact that there was 70% discount on the strand I eventually purchased, added a lot of concerns.
When the package arrived, I was not disappointed, for most parts. I have seen a number of fake pearl necklaces (you can spot these in not too important occasions, where people usually avoid wearing luxuries for safety reasons) - and I can tell how different it is from those. Now you can easily google for tips to tell fake vs authentic pearls apart - and of course, I do not need to tell the results. But beyond the tests, it is the value that, I believe, it would add to the person who wears it.
How much value would that be when it came at 70% discount? I thought about it, and eventually the only reason I could come up with was that the pearls I purchased were old - perhaps a few years. This is just my own hypothesis. Despite this possibility, looking at how the pearls shine, one can say it is worth the money. Take a look at the attached photo, and by all means, look closer to the edge where the pearls are under the shade. By the way, at 70% discount, the cost is still about $600.
A few impressions:
_ The pearls are of high uniformity. Giving that 2 seconds of thought, it is no surprise, since the division is just 0.5 mm. But it is worth noting that the pearls all fall exactly into the size range I chose; there is no pearl that is noticeably smaller than the rest.
_ The pearls are very round. Again, this is at odds with the expectation of imperfection of real pearls. Given 2-second googling, one can find that this is typical for Akoya pearls.
_ Upon inspection for imperfections, the pearls indeed show mild roughness on the surface. But not quite visible.
There are a few minor let-downs:
_ The box doesn't seem to be at comparable value.
_ The knots are relatively big, so fewer pearls. On the positive side, this prevents the pearls from being rubbed against each other,

Warning: Fake pearls & Necklace doesn’t hang nicely

Reviewed in Canada on April 20, 2023
This necklace doesn’t hang beautifully as shown in the photos because they used a rope (yes a regular rope) instead of a chain, and there’s knots between each pearl. So it warps and doesn’t pull its weight (see photos) it has unpredicted waves and pretty ugly to wear around the neck.
I’ve previously bought pearl, this product is super low quality, also pearls are fake, some sort of paint was used over to cover some sort of fake Jewelery… looking at them closely at the right angle will show a lot of imperfection in the paint (I did my best to capture good photos to show)
I have to pay for return shipping fees in addition to the $25 already paid for shipping fees at purchase
