What do people think of this?

I can't keep my mind or eyes off pearls for very long, and tend to spend hours browsing around sites or various kinds looking. I'm not intending to buy - especially the ones I link to below, because I don't like them. My aim is to educate myself. On a UK auction site (not ebay) there are these:

I suspect something dodgy obviously, but they do look like real pearls. Again, I have no intention of buying these - I'm looking at all sorts and all types for education/eye candy/fun/dreaming purposes. When I buy I buy from people on this forum for my own peace of mind about the quality of the pearls and in order to get what I paid for. However, I still look all over.

I like the line "Size variation due to natural pearls," LOL But what do people think they are?

[pearlescence]

With a gold tone clasp I think they are very routine and probably not naturals
It seems odd that an american seller is listing on a uk site (is it a UK site?)

Cultured pearls at best, but possibly even imitation pearls.

I'm guessing they were kicked off eBay.

hey, guys, i also came across the same question. My little sister aged 8 years old. she just told me that she very like this swan necklace
http://www.umiskii.com/crystal-neckl...an-necklaceand she persuade me to buy that for her.
it seems like a pear, I am not very sure about it, very likely not. Is that fake pearl or man-made one?

The shapes of the pearls looks like Chinese freshwater cultured pearls.

You have got to be kidding! That site is crystal pearls, fake pearls faux pearls, whatever you want to call it.

This is not the forum for costume jewelry and I don't know what is.
