HI
It looks like they are peacock black freshwater pearls. Those are definely commercial grade pearls. The price is probably because they are unusually large, 11-12mm. I think that size is rather rare.

Once that one goes who knows when thy will get another and they will need more money to buy it than they paid for this one. I think theprice is ridiculously high, but I've seen higher.



If I were to buy this one, I wold leave the silver clasp on there. I like silver and use it exclusively.
