The box is beautiful but the quality of the pearls was just really poor. They claimed AAA quality and these pearls are nowhere near AAA quality. They are not round and have extensive imperfections. They are A quality (or D on the Tahitian grading system). It doesn't match the quality of the pearls in the photos on their website, which appeared to be AAA. The quality of these pearls is that of low-end jewelry. We were just in French Polynesia so I'm quite familiar with what good quality Tahitian black pearls look like.`
