Maybe 2-3 opinions are better. In that case, I would say that the off-round shapes could not be duplicated with a bead nucleus.

Therefore no nucleus used. No nucleus used, therefore it has to be cultured freshwater pearls-

which happen to be my favorite cultured pearls. Look at the natural shapes, lovely luster --neither akoyas or south sea pearls have that kind of luster, ever. They each have their own recognizable kind of luster.
