Hi Effisk,

That pearl does not look AAA. It has more than just slight-to-none blemishes. It would have to have some kind of incredible lustre for that price. You can hide the blemishes with drilling or setting, but at that price the pearl should have none to begin with.

I'm more than sure someone on the forum can supply you with one of these at a lesser cost. I've seen a few finished rings with a great quality 17mm for that price.

Would a perfectly matched pair be worth more? Yes, but not $6000 bucks. What would you do with them? Earrings? You could only make dressy dangles. Monster studs like that are only popular in China, Japan and the Philippines, as far as I know.
