These pearls are very nice. They have a very high luster and no visible flaws. I examined them under my lighted magnifying glass.

Though I am not a professional, they seem to be of the same level quality as the Mikimoto pearl studs I bought in Japan years ago.

The color is not the same as the photo. They are more of a beige-pink color. However, I find the beige-pink to be a very pretty sophisticated color and I now prefer it to the pastel pink showed in the photo.
