the beads a little big for me and not 8-10 mm round, slightly flattened, you can not see on the photo and not perfectly even color, especially darker, but if it is true cultured pearls is forgiven . I do not have enough perspective to know whether the pearls are secured on the stem and if money is real, otherwise it is sure that I will do the allergy. if I have the opportunity later I will confirm that. considering the price it was a decent purchase for fun and cheap pair change according to the desire or the outfit. I do not regret my purchase
