I have been to Papeete and the Tuamotus and have purchased black pearls over there, but these 10-11 mm gems with 14K gold bales and chains are the best bargain I have seen. I purchased 7 of them recently for my grandkids. The peals themselves are very clean with very few if any imperfections and the gold bales are a perfect match for a teenage girl; or any girl for that matter. tom
