These pearls will make a nice addition to your pearl/jewelry collection. I have many pearl sets most much costlier than these and like these allot. First you get earrings and a braclet with the knecklace so you have eveything. I really like the magnetic clasp. They are not completely black but rathers has hues of purple and blue and whats even looks like green to me, yes there some imperfections, it has good weight to it as well. I think they would be great for casual ware there very pretty -it would have gotten 5 stars if they dropped the price a bit all things considered.
