I bought this because I wanted pearls I could wear to work/more casual events without worrying about the way I would with expensive pearls. To e honest, wasn't sure about this strand when I first got it because the strand was kinked from being knotted too tightly but by the third day of wearing it the strand was perfectly smooth and now it looks great!

That said, I removed one star because the knots between the pearls were nailpolished which I've never seen before...
