Sterling Silver Freshwater Pearl Earrings (India)

I purchased these earrings as a gift for a friend. They arrived on time, in a nice box, and looked nice. As often happens with an item of this sort, one of the pearls was much prettier than the other. The less attractive one almost looked like it had a small crack or line in it, but not bad enough to deal with sending them back and getting new ones. My friend really loved them. I think they are comparable to what I could have found at a department store, and probably could have gotten something better on sale, but these were very convenient and I didn't have time to shop. I rarely give 5-star reviews, so for me three stars isn't bad. They are nice earrings and an average value.
