 delighted with this purchase Mar 28, 2009
By J. Jones
I am actually very delighted with this item. I own other cultured pearl jewerly, but the 8mm size of the "crystal" pearls was appealing (for the price)... and I was curious how this necklace would look. The fish-hook clasp is lovely, as well. The pearls are single-knotted on a silk string, 18 in. long. They have a bit of weight to them, so that the necklace hangs very nicely. A very nice, and dressy looking necklace.

 good potential alternative to expensive freshwater/cultured pearls Jan 30, 2011
By shelly v
Let me first state that these are NOT real pearls. I thought I'd mention it because I read someone asking in the comments of another review if they are. They are not. I believe these are completely human-created in a lab using swarovski crystals, unlike cultured or natural pearls that are created by oysters.
I needed a string of pearls to wear to work or on job interviews and I certainly can't spend a fortune for the higher-end pearls. I did a lot of research on freshwater and cultured pearls before I came across these. If you want a set a pearls that looks good and uniform and don't care if they're real or faux as long as they look nice, this is a good value for the money. These pearls look nice and uniform and a good size and not quite as white as shown in the picture, slightly less white (which is fine by me because overly-white pearls tend to look fake). Pretty good luster. So this is a nice alternative to spending the same amount of money to buy a string of cultured pearls that are not uniform (often referred to as 'potato' pearls). For the amount of money I spent for these pearls, I'd probably only get a lower-end string of cultured pearls which wouldn't look as nice as these do.
Don't get me wrong. Of course they won't compare to akoya or south sea pearls. It's nice if everyone could afford real pearls. But unless you're buying them for a special occasion or gift and have the money to spend, they're not worth the expense IMO. Since I'm buying for work reasons spending this amount of money makes sense to me, plus these pearls are a nice value for that amount. I would say this is a good set as a 'starter' pearl necklace or a nice gift for someone younger who you wouldn't spend a lot of money buying real pearls for.
I did consider other brands of fake pearls and looked at some in brick and mortar stores and those are mostly for fashion and look very obviously fake. I don't know what the potential is for these pearls to be mistaken for real ones since I haven't worn them yet but these look NOWWHERE near as fake as some pearls you can buy in department stores, most of which cost about the same as the swarovski pearls. Yes, as other reviews have mentioned repeatedly the fish hook clasp is a pill to use (I had to google instructions on how to unhook the clasp). But as least it's a secure clasp that'll keep you from losing the pearls and even though I didn't spend hundreds of dollars on these I like them and want to keep them. I'm thinking of getting the gray ones too.

Great necklace Sep 14, 2009
By Jennifer
I get tons of compliments on this necklace. The pearls really do seem more luminous with the crystals inside. I'm not sure how you would prove they were actually Swarovski's inside but it works for me, and for the price it's a great everyday necklace.

Simple and nice Jan 10, 2010
By Ken the Patriot
The string of pearls arrived in good condition in a small tasteful jewelry box. It was a Christmas gift for my wife and she really liked it. She did have some trouble figuring out how the clasp opened and there were no instructions but she figured it out after a minute or two. A good buy.
