They were just ok. I wanted to like these, but the colors of all the strands were so similar that I had to look closely in bright light to tell which was which. I wanted them to look like the pictures and especially was looking forward to the greyish ones, but they were not that color, just a very slightly darker peach color. Too bad, I did return. Most of the pearls were decent quality, but for the price, I expected better colors.
