<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 564180, member: 5833&quot;]Natural pearls are only very rarely spherical, &amp; command huge sums when they are found.&nbsp; Most of us have probably only ever seen spherical pearls that were cultured.&nbsp; Pearls with irregular shape are called &#039;baroque&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pearls can be the shape of those in your earrings, but the odds of finding 2 so smooth &amp; perfectly matched?&nbsp; You can be sure they&#039;re artificial.&nbsp; I had a pair that were something like this, except gold diamonds &amp; real pearls.&nbsp; They were large &amp; basically teardrop shape, but not really both the same size or exact shape, &amp; had irregularities on the surface where there was additional nacre, a bit lumpy &amp; bumpy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
