Edit:
Oops, the over US$ 60,000.00 is for AA grade, a 9.5-10mm 16-inch strand in A grade cost only US$ 35,000.00

Hi Zeide!
Hi Zeide! I got another look at them today . I also asked her and she said they were South Sea. That would explain the luster. They were white. I measured some shell pearls I have and after comparing, her's are about 15mm. They were not round. They were perfectly matched in shape. They were more of an elliptical shape ,top to bottom. They hung vertically,if that makes sense.
Her husband can afford to buy her anything.
