Hi Katkat,

Doesn't this auction ad make you wonder which necklace you will be getting, a) the freshwater cultured pearl necklace shown, b) the shell imitation pearl necklace shown, or c) the akoya PPB necklace described? You can pretty much can the idea of the akoya PPB necklace described since there are no 12mm round and matched akoya PPBs to make into a necklace. The freshwater cultured pearl necklace is an iffy proposition at this price, too, even though the photo shown indicates rather 9-10mm than anything approaching 12mm. Given the sellers' feedback rating, I would not even get my hopes up for the shell imitation pearl necklace. You probably are just going to get a plastic fake and/or the run around.
