Hi Dara,

Better photos. They do look like natural pearls. You must find a way to get them certified. If they are natural, the certificates will pay for themselves in the increased price you will receive.

Good Luck!

I canīt answer that question other than that it is not easy to photograph pearls. Why donīt you try a white paper towel and see if the true colours come through better?

Throw back catfish! But they are so tasty! I know, bottom feeders. Let me live in my dreams. Great catch, Kev! Never had catfish that big. One fish for a family reunion .

Now I do not like to snipe at another seller but I do think the price is a smidge high

Yes but it's extremely rare. Who needs mm sizes when you have rarity?
