These are gorgeous, heavy, solid, luminous pearls. I was really impressed when I open the box - they're a really creamy white, with a pretty silver clasp. They are substantial in size - bigger than I expected. I also like that they are each unique, with subtle ridges and bumps which - to me - enhance the pearlescent qualities of each bead.

If you're looking for a traditional, standard set of perfectly round pearls, these are not those. But if you'd like the look of pearls, with a natural, modern twist, I think these would fit the bill.
