These are beautiful and are of a midlevel quality. If these were perfect AAA pearls this necklace of well matched 10MM +/- pearls would be thousands of dollars. These are real pearls and you will feel that in the weight in your hand. The vintage-style filigree security clasp is 14k goldplated. They look expensive but come at an affordable price, including the 6MM pierced earings. At this price you can indulge yourself. Wear them with jeans or a power suit and you'll look like a million bucks!!!
