For the hardcore bargain hunting Smurfs don't start to comparing this product on aliexpress.
After examining similar rings on AliExpress, I've observed that these are plastic imitation pearls. Numerous reviews indicate that the surface coating tends to peel off over time. For comparison, scratching a genuine pearl may leave a minor dent, but you won’t remove any painted layer, as authentic pearls lack such coatings. A key feature of natural baroque pearls is their complete uniqueness—no two are ever identical. However, the customer review photos for these imitation rings show pearls identical to the seller’s product images, which would never happen with genuine natural pearls.

A small slice of irregular shaped freshwater pearl surrounded by plastic rhinestones with a "gold coloured alloy" coated metal ring…couldn't be any tackier unless it had a diamond shaped lolly attached to it.
