    Waiting to see quality of pearls before deciding. I usually purchase Swarovski. Made earrings using the pearls. Only drawback was that there was minor chipping or cracking around the outbound drill holes on about 10% of the pearls. The heft, weight and luster were all as good as Swarovski. Bottom line, I was very pleased and will order them again as needed.
