The pearl quality is good: pearl size as stated,not all beads perfectly round, medium luster, no blemish. The string quality is poor. The string is tight and crooked  causing it not resting well on the neck. But, it was only $21.00 and pearl quality is good. It would make a nice necklace for
 casual occasion.  So, I kept the necklace with plan to restring the pearl myself. Have never done it before but a friend, who makes jewelry, says it's do-able with silk string from craft store.
