By Pictures, they are either fake pearls or genuine South Sea Pearls, for plastic fake pearls it is easy to tell by doing a scratch test. If they are not fake, very likely you got a strand of real SSP! BTW $750 is a really good price, hard to find strand with this place from US shops! Congrats!!!

Never enlarge the holes my friend. maybe you need to try to use a thinner reamer.

Definitely freshwater pearls. I know lots of guys in the Philippines buy DYED freshwater pearls from China and then sell it to tourist with the price of South Sea Pearls.

Yes, you can choose the jewelry type/material and upload a sketch for reference. I guess you might miseed that feature?

Thank you for the honest feedback. We really appreciate it :) Yes, WE don't do stainless steel and 9K gold. But right now the gold price is insane; most of customers can't afford gold jewelry.

Hi everyone, Disclosure: We are De Blancas, an online pearl jewelry shop. We recently launched a custom pearl jewelry design tool that lets people turn an idea into a visual pearl jewelry concept before moving into the final design process. Since this forum has many knowledgeable pearl lovers...

gold clasps are usually made with Au750 or G18K stamps. I am 100% sure those are not real gold. Gold price is crazy right now.

It is rare for real tahitian pearls to have such eggy shape. since they are nucleus cultured, so normally close to round or baroque shape.

Dyed Freshwater Pearls. the purple luster looks unnatural, authentic tahitian pearl purple luster does not look like that
