FW pearl disguised as SSP?

I ordered these pearls from Fandapearl from Etsy for a gift I plan to make but the pearls looked nothing like south sea pearls.

The SSP necklace from Fandapearl looked nothing like its listing which resembles more of a SSP (Strand B). It looks more like FW, I just want to know if these are real SSP?

They look like SSP to me.

I agree with Pearl Dreams.

Yeah these are SSP. I went to get them checked by a professional.

Hi! From what you’ve described, it sounds like the pearls you received may not match the listing. Genuine South Sea Pearls (SSP) are usually larger, have a thicker nacre, and display a softer, satiny luster compared to freshwater pearls. I’d suggest reaching out to the seller for clarification and, if possible, requesting a certificate of authenticity. You can also have them checked by a local jeweler to be sure.
