Hi SpaceNeedle,
I am not an expert, just voicing what I see. The pearls are so golden, almost the same color as the clasp itself. I haven't seen any GSS in pictures that have such deep gold. The last 2 pictures that show the whole set (above "Product Specifications"), the pearls on the bracelet don't look round to me. Look at the figure 8 of the bracelet, the bottom part, left side, closer to the bottom. There is one pearl that is definitely off-round. I thought GSS are bead-nucleated, so shouldn't they be round? The opposite side also has some off-round pearls, but not as prominent as the pearl on the left.

I also should add that 12% restocking is more than $1K. Too risky for what maybe dyed FW.
