These earrings are ok for the steeply discounted price, but I imagine anyone who knows about pearls would scoff at them. I'm no expert but I can see that one is more yellow than the other, and the one that is whiter is kind of dull. Obviously, the surface will vary from pair to pair, but the pair I received are not well matched. Also, both pearls have numerous little pits.

I'm reasonably satisfied with these for the price, but I don't recommend buying them if you're looking for a nice gift.
