Freshwater Cultured Potato Pearl 9.0-10.0mm Necklace, 17", and 9.0-9.5mm Stud Earring Set

I know the difference between akoya (round, perfect) and freshwater (potato-shaped, irregular) pearls. I purchased this SET (necklace and earrings!) hoping to get a decent set of pearls: I underestimated Amazon.com. They knocked the ball over the wall on this set (earrings & necklace for the price !)

Weight: Necklace: HEFTY. You feel this baby in your hands. Hand-knotted, gorgeous clasp.

Earrings: You will see them on your ears girls!

Color: Soft ivory > white. A sheen on them that notes them as real.

Surface: As in freshwaters, irregular. They are quite perfect and large in size (very unusual to find anything beyond teensy) for freshwaters.

I've purchased a 2d set for my niece who just went off to college. I'm now thinking I should doublecheck my Holiday list too.

This is a gorgeous set, arrives in a nice dark blue velvet pouch. Am certain this will bring a big twinkle to my eye for years...Read more

I was a little concerned ordering something as a gift for my wife called, "Potato Pearl Necklace." But I wasn't concerned after it arrived at work and I showed it around the office. No one I showed it to could believe how much I payed and after they found out what the offial amazon name was, a number of them ran back to their cubes to order it themselves. Bigger success at home. My wife thought they were great, hefty weight to the strand, feels like it must cost more, and the she wore them to work the next day where she was a hit. I'm terrible at jewelry and saw a review on this and thought I'd check it out. I did good, and only $30

Wow - This necklace and earring set is a tremendous value for the price. They are simply beautiful! I've received many compliments on their unique look and luminosity. This set would make a terrific gift - No one would ever guess the price, and I'm certainly not telling. How do they do it? I am extremely pleased.
