| I like seeing at least a few off-round pearls in every strand, because it reminds me they are a real, natural product. And of course everyone will know they are not imitation pearls.
I can't answer your question about value, but I do agree that the roundness of a pearl is less important than the overall beauty, and that baroques can be fascinating and very attractive due to their unusual shapes and uneven finish.
But for the most formal of occasions, nothing beats the clean, elegant symmetry of rounds. |
