The Pearl SourceBlack Akoya Japanese Pearl Necklace for Women - 14k Gold Pearl Strand Necklace | 18in Long Pearl Necklace with Genuine Cultured Pearls Pearl Gifts for Christmas, Holidays and Anniversary

What a gift! Sure to impress and please. I would conside these fine grade pearls as A+ estate jewelry . The clasp is of very good quality and is needed with the wonderful weight of the necklace. The color of the pearl is indeed black however the Lustre and irredecent properties of each bead allow it to be worn with just about any color outfit. A very nice twist! Purchased from the pearl source, seller was fast in shipping ....delivered within time stated. Pearls were delivered in a high end jewel box with certificate of authenticity. All around a great purchase and a happy wife!

The pearls seems fine for the today's deal price - they were a gift for a relative.The packaging "system" was horrendous.The pearl necklace was completely loose inside the "presentation" box. I'm not kidding - the necklace was not fastened down ... just loose. No tissue paper, no foam, no insert - NOTHING to keep them from smashing around and banging against themselves while in transit.This strikes me as somewhat nuts - I'll bet the entire supply chain behind this item goes to a lot of trouble/expense to protect the pearls as they go around the world, and the The Pearl Source just throws them in a box and ships the UPS.The recipient said they were OK - if this is true, I'd count it as a minor miracle.

I bought a strand before and they were beautiful. I thought I was buying the same thing but not at all. The pearls are very tiny. I don't like them at all. Unfortunately, there was a death in the family and I didn't get to returning them and now I can't. What a waste of money. I won't ever wear them. Make sure you order bigger size.

The necklace arrived and when I opened the box, my heart skipped a beat ! Beautiful, lustrous and a deep black with blue overtone pearls. It is lovely and I am so happy with my purchase. I have purchased several items from TPS and am very happy with their pearls and service.

I originally purchased this with a set of earrings that were from the same vendor. When both items came in they were beautiful, but did not match each other. I called The Pearl Source and they were fantastic to work with. They suggested that I place an order directly on their website to assure that the items match. I did so and was completely satisfied with the results.

My wife fell in love with themThanks

In all the pictures they use much larger pearls, then in the description the measurements used to describe them is more common to jewelers. I'm not happy with the size of these pearls or the shine and these are not my first purchase of pearls.

Black nakoya pearls are so beautiful. I got more than what I expected. Pearls are totally black. The really are so perfect. I have to get a white pearls necklace later on. Thanks for sending me this great black pearl necklace!!!
