**Just as with genuine pearls, this set's porousness has started to age, and the white creaminess of the sim pearl has turned a shade less white.** 
**OF SPECIAL NOTE: One of the sim pearls/sim diamond bands is pulling away from it's seated base ring. It is not completely detached. Due to this defect, the item has been priced accordingly.**
The Screw Backs have been examined, and are working just fine.
