I purchased this earring set, based on the description, and, Amazon's reviews.  All I can say is, 'thank you ladies and gentlemen!' I'm so glad I didn't miss out on these stunning earrings.

The pearls are beautiful and appear of good quality.  On close inspection, I don't observe any artifacts, or blemishes, and the lustre is superb. In fact, DH watched me open the package and when I turned the box his way he exclaimed, "WOW---those are pretty, and, so shiny." The 9 to 10mm size is accurate, as described, and the colors are rich and distinct; not muted.  With such color choices, I will have a pair for every occasion.

I was pleased with the seller, ORKYD Pearls. The packaging was secure and lovely enough for gift giving, with speedy delivery. I also enjoyed the booklet included, describing the different types of pearls, which necklace length may be right for you, the grading of pearls, and finally, how to take care of them.  For anyone fairly new to pearls, this would be a big plus. With the packaging, there is also a Certificate of Authenticity, with a generous guarantee.

This set would make a gift you could be proud of.  As I looked at them, I kept thinking of upcoming spring and summer weddings, and what wonderful bridesmaid gifts these would make, as well as other gift giving opportunities.  I hope ORKYD keeps them in stock because I'm pretty sure I'll be back for more.

And lastly, I suppose I'd be remiss if I failed to mention, that for the quality, the price is a total no-brainer.  Even my DH commented that ONE pair, in a nice department store, would probably go for the cost of this complete set. He may be right!
