14k Gold Akoya Cultured Pearl Necklace (7.5-8 mm/ 18 in)

Rating

I am thrilled, I ordered this strand to replace one with smaller (albeit high quality) pearls. The Akoya strand of pearls surpasses my highest expectations. The colour (a soft cream), lustre and size of each pearl is perfection and no flaws; I am petite so the 18in. length is just right and the size of the pearls is neither too small or too large which gives them an elegance that makes the price unbelievable, they look much more expensive. I ordered this strand of pearls (along with the Sterling silver Multi Colour FW Pearl Necklace) two days ago and just received them. If the second Multi strand is as amazing as the Akoya strand I will continue to purchase all my pearl jewelry from Overstock!

This is my first purchase at Overstock and I am very pleased with my purchase. The pearls are perfectly round with a creamy color and a high luster. I would definitely recommend it.

I've wanted a "grown-up" string of pearls for years and years but wasn't willing to spend the money. This string of Akoya pearls arrived today and I have had an opportunity to examine them closely and I am happy to pronounce them very good value for the cost. The flaws are very, very minor and can only be seen on close inspection -- certainly no one should be "up in your face" to a degree that would reveal the tiny imperfections. They're very nicely matched, well knotted, and they have good sheen and a very slight pinkish-green cast. For the price, you can't beat these. The actual strand of pearls is 17 inches, but when you add in the clasps, the entire piece is about 18 inches. (Be advised, they do not come in a box - only an Overstock jewelry pouch, and there is no maker's label.)

This is a Mother's Day gift but I tested it a few times and it is very classic with the shiny, equally round pearls. the fish hook clasp is difficult but it will be secure. I may need one for me in the future.

The akoya necklace I purchased was beautiful. The luster of the pearls was georgeous and the unifomity of the set was excellent. The pearls had only very, very slight imperfections, ones that would be consistent with a AA quality. The only thing that seemed worthy to note was that the strand seemed to be strung slightly tight, but I have been told that the string will "give" in time, so they will lay perfectly.
