Thanks for your thoughts. I am not buying the pearls. I saw the lisitng and thought it was interesting that the seller lists verbiage from the BN website without any knowledge of the pearls. For example, why is the listing noting 18 inches when clearly, the picture shows the strand is NOT 18...

GM. It's on eBay -- search Blue Nile and pearl. The listing is all over the place. I only asked the question b/c I was curious about the pearl type -- I thought the pearls look pretty nice but I know that imitation pearls can also look nice (esp to untrained eyes).

Hi. Wondering if you had gotten the pearls? And if you like them?
