This necklace is simply beautiful, and turned out to be exactly as the description stated.  The color of the pearls match perfectly, the shape is a nice potato shape that is also consistent, with very few blemishes on close inspection.  Also, the pearls are very luminous. I am truly surprised at the high luster of this necklace, at this price point. I have a fair amount of knowledge about pearls from a past retail job, so I was not expecting such high quality. This was a gift from my daughter for my birthday from my Amazon wish list on our family account, and I highly recommend this as a gift for anyone who loves pearls!
