These are a nice purple-black color that does a good job of camouflaging the imperfections of the fresh water pearls. The size is impressive (I'm guessing 8 mm) and they have a very comfortable and pleasant weight around the neck and wrist. The studs are surprisingly large and as a woman with 2 piercings in each ear, I find that they are best worn in the bottom hole on the actual lobe. I would suggest securing the post as close to the ear as possible as their weight tends to pull them away from the ear a little.

The necklace and bracelet both feature strong magnetic closures in a partial bead design that complements the pearls. This makes them extremely easy to put on without help. The magnets are those new super-strong types that deliver a surprisingly secure closure. The pearls are tied on individually which is a sign of quality and helps secure loss in the event that a strand breaks. It also serves as spacing between the pearls that delivers a refined and evenly distributed effect. The pearls are all very well matched in size, shape and color across all 3 pieces.

I wear them casually with jeans to great effect but they would also look beautiful with a little black dress.
