4PCS Saltwater Akoya Cultured Pearl Oyster with Round Pearl (6.5-7.5mm) Inside Jewelry Making or Birthday Gifts (4 Colors)

Fun for kids. Got for all my nieces and they loved opening them. Not very big and you can tell the pearls are are just stuck in for you don’t need to hunt for them and not even close to the quality ones I did in Hawaii marketplace or other venues but these are so cheap and fun for the kids! Little colored pearls are pretty too. 5 stars for being priced right!!

Please turn out great. Very fun to do with my grandkids.

All 4 of the oysters were pre cracked and basically fell open once removed from the vacuum seal. There was one single pearl in each oyster and they also fell right out of the shell when opened. I’ve purchased real pearl oysters before in Hawaii and I’ve never come across any like this before. The shells are usually difficult to open and you have to cut the flesh to release the pearl . The quality of the pearls themselves is poor. None of these are round and all 4 have several flaws, such as dimples and/or ridges. I would not recommend this brand to anyone. I bought them for granddaughters and was disappointed. Do your research to avoid these shady business practices.

There are several interesting features listed which led me to buy these pieces. The meat in the shell is non-edible yet one of the features listed was 'scent.' Hopefully, it referred to the meat not stinking, which I was happy about. These pearl shells appear to be cut open, preserved in some chemical, the pearl added to cut flesh, then secured back together, wrapped, and sold to the buyer. The shells I purchased already had the cushion flesh cut with the pearls inserted into the cut flesh form. These shells were assembled not grown, but the price was reasonable with some pleasure of the feeling of actually opening a fresh pearl.

a little stinky, but after rinsing they are beautiful. Exactly what I wanted.

Fun for kids

I was excited to get these as a friend of mine had just bought a bulk of oysters and we opened them 30 in all and every pearl was a brilliant color and very nice. I don’t know who she ordered from but I thought I’d try my luck. I was very disappointed. I opened them as soon as they arrived. The pearls are all discolored and uneven with coloring like they were the last of a dye batch. I’m unsure how well this will show up in photo, but these can’t be used for gifts at all someone would think you were extremely cheap and didn’t care about quality at all. I’m not sending back as it is such a big hassle to get all opened smelly shells together and repack. I can’t recommend theses highly I’d your a gambler you may get lucky.

The pearls I received were as the picture showed. The oyster was opened previous which I do not mind, as the pearls appear to be authentic. The luster was good, the shape was mostly round.
