Round Cultured Tahitian Black Pearl 18K White Gold Pendant, 8-9MM

the pearl is beautiful, although it is exactly 7mm in diameter. I ordered the 8-9mm size. I ordered this as a gift, and a huge disappointment was that the chain is not gold and does not even look like white gold. the chain has a dark silver tone. this information should have been clearly mentioned in the product description. I now have only a couple of days to find something else in time to find the gift I was looking for. if you know that information and are ok with that, then it is a decent product, the chain looks strong and well-made. the certification is all in Chinese, so I am not sure what kind of ease of mind it can provide for an international customer. Knowing that the chain is not made from gold and the pearl is smaller than advertised, the product is probably priced a bit too high for an internet order.
