These were purchased as a birthday day gift for my 13 yr. old daughter.

The packaging was not "gift" quality, should I be giving to someone with particular tastes, just be aware.  I drop a 1/2 point for the packaging, and rounding forces me to 4.

My daughter just asked if they were real pearls, which they are.  She wears these a lot, and is proud to the good looks, and understated class these bring to her outfits.  I will say, that my daughter is quite fashionable, but very modest, so these pearls are right up her alley.

I am very comfortable with these being every day use, as the price was modest, and the look tasteful
