This review is from: 6.5x7mm A Quality pearl Japanese Akoya cultured pearl necklace 16" (Jewelry)
I have not purchased this item and assigned three stars to avoid slanting the average. This is another pearl item that provides conflicting information. When going through the shopping list, the header said the pearls were AAA Quality. Upon selecting the item, the header changed to reflect A Quality. The specifications rated the pearls as low-luster, yet the seller's description says at one time that the pearls are A quality; at another, the highest quality of A, AA or AAA; and then states that there is no grade of pearl with a higher luster. It is hard to imagine that the highest grade of luster in a pearl is "low luster". How can anyone expect to sell a product with such conflicting information?
