"Maybe I just got a bad strand but I am not at all impressed with these pearls. They lack luster and don't look genuine. I think I've seen better costume jewelry for less than $10.00. Generally I have been very impressed with the quality of the merchandise from JTV and believe me, I have purchased a lot! This is my first pearl purchase. Perhaps I'm expecting too much. I inherited some beautiful graduated pearls from my mother which make these look like clay. I'll send these back and stick to other gemstones for now."

"Very beautiful pearls ... Well matched, round, white and without blemishes or pits. And the set of earrings are a wonderful addition! The only thing I wish is that they were 18" or 20" in length as they hug my neck a little more than I'm used to. And, I really don't care for the clasp as the gold is very thin and bends easily if you're not careful - and it doesn't hold very tightly. But, even if it opens, the nice thing about this type of clasp is that you still need to bring it around and un-hook it so no worries of it falling off! Every clasp of this type that I've seen is the same though, so it's not unique to this necklace. I purchased a set of the same size from JTV for $30.00 less and you really do get what you pay for. These were whiter, and just prettier overall. They are smaller in size, which I prefer. I just don't feel that large pearls are that pretty - they look fake to me, but I'm sure a million women out there would say that I'm nuts. I just prefer the smaller, daintier version. If you do as well - then this set is for you! I love them and think that you will love them as well! Thanks JTV!"

"This was an exceptional buy! The pearls were beautiful, one set had a slight pink tint, the others were white. I took the white, my daughter was thrilled that her set had a pink tint. We are extremely happy with our purchase, Went online to find these pearls, price couldn't come close to JTV! Thanks again for a pleasant experience!"

Fast Facts
| Once the price of pearls was so extravagant they caused wars and even funded a war, but today cultured pearls have made this “queen of gems” available to everyone. |
| Once, all pearls were only natural, most recovered from the Persian Gulf, occurring once in every 15,000 oysters. |
| Pearls form in the mollusk in a variety of shapes, including: round (spherical), off-round, semi-baroque, baroque, rice shaped, button or disk, and many fancy shapes created by the insertion of specially shaped nucleus beads. |
| Many royal families had an obsession with pearls. Some ancient Romans covered whole pieces of furniture in pearl, and in some monarchies only members of the royal were legally allowed to wear pearls. |
 When light touches the pearl, it travels through all the layers of nacre, and each tiny crystal reflects the light like miniature prisms. The end result? A lustrous, breathtaking pearl.

A pearl is a lustrous, organic gem produced by saltwater oysters, freshwater mussels and occasionally by some shellfish. It exhibits a range of colors from white to pink, silver, cream, peach, gold, green, blue and black. Oh Mohs’ scale of hardness, pearl is 2.5 – 4.5. Primary sources of Sea Pearls include Persian Gulf; Gulf of Manaar; along the coasts of Madagascar, Burma (Myanmar), and the Philippines; many islands in the South Pacific, northern Australia; and the coastal lines of Central and northern South America; and some small beds in Japan. Primary sources of freshwater Pearls include United States, some in Europe (restricted in Central Europe).
