The pearls are beautiful with rich luster, no visual blemish, perfect size for earrings. Like other buyers reviewed, the back is poorly done, you can see the glue( I'm not sure if it's glue or its the top layer of the pearl is peeling off, looks flimsy. If you think you are perfectionism, I don't recommend. But of course if you are just like me, wear for fun, then it's a good buy because the pearls are stunning!!
