Oyster Pearls, POSHOPS Freshwater Cultured Big Oysters with Pearls Inside Pearl an Oysters Home Decoration Jewelry Making

Really pleased with the outcome. Shells were intact, no odor, overall fun experience. Pearls were on the small side as other reviewers mentioned, but having that expectation in mind it made for a fun anniversary gift. Pictured are the pearls from an order of 2.

I almost forgot I had this . I found it today hidden in the kitchen lol. My 9 year old daughter wasn't too interested. But i thought it was cool. You don't get to open oysters with real pearls in them every day.Once i rinsed them and the shell they look pretty.I did it outside just in case it smelled when opening the plastic. It didn't smell hardly at all. There were some hints of the ocean smell but that's to be expected lolVery cool. Thank you for giving people the opportunity to open of these.

First, I'm an experienced Crime Scene Cleaner- think about that for a second.This is the 2nd time buying one of these from this seller. First time- not too much of a smell, normal smell for an oyster- arrived sealed with hardly any smell at all. This time around, I dry-heaved about 50 times while opening and removing pearls w/my 8 yr old twins. Even BEFORE opening it, it smelled DISGUSTING. First time I bought one, we had fun removing the many pearls inside & was a great experience. This time, I seriously wanted to give up on the whole thing. One of my girls wouldn't even come near it. We opened it outside & I had to step away from it, dry-heaving SEVERAL times. The next day, today, I want to puke every second bc the smell is not completely gone from my sinuses. I CANNOT express how disappointed I am over this. I should have sent it back immediately. (And I keep wondering how badly the Amazon driver's truck smelled just from transporting it!!) Lesson learned. I will seriously question purchasing one of these oyster shells from this seller again, and I will definitely seek out a different seller if I do want to buy another in the future. **SEAL YOUR FRESH PRODUCTS BETTER!** I've never been so repulsed. Can't say that enough. Again......crime scene cleaner.

The media could not be loaded. Came on time and quality was great for a beach pearl hunting afternoon.

Ok so first of all - the smell. There was not really much of a smell. The only thing I really smelled was like that chemical smell you smelled in science class when you dissected an earthworm (or a frog). It’s not overpowering but if you are sensitive to stuff like that you might want to just cover your nose with a good old covid mask or something. It wasn’t bad- definitely not fishy or anything like it could have been.Second of all, little disappointed in the size of my shell. The video shows this massive shell, mine was like half that size.We got about 26 pearls and one “blister pearl” on the shell. The pearls were pretty small overall.Thirdly, the pearls aren’t iridescent or anything like that. They seem a bit dull. But overall it was a neat experience to show the kids. I had been reading about the difference between man-made pearls versus natural pearls so it was interesting to see how it works.Fourthly, have some kind of pocket knife on hand or something. It was harder to open the shell than I had imagined. A child could definitely not do it.Also WEAR GLOVES - who knows what kind of nasty germs are inside these shells 😝Also delivery was super fast!

It said it would be vacuum sealed so when I opened up the amazon wrapper and took out what was inside I wasn’t expecting it to be leaking out of the package and stinky. I wasn’t wearing gloves to remove the package from the amazon wrapper so the liquid that was leaking went on my hands and my kitchen counter. As you can see in the photo, the oyster was wrapped in bubble wrap and then put in a plastic wrapper. The smell was not formaldehyde. It was a gross smell that made me nauseous. I soaked the oyster in water and cleaned up the counter and washed my hands a bunch then put on gloves to open it. I wish I would have bought this in the summer so I could have opened it outside instead of in my kitchen. But we opened it on top of foil and paper towels and pulled out 24 small pearls. I know it’s the luck of the draw what they pearls will look like. I wasn’t overly impressed with the ones in mine. Small and dull. I’m also not sure how to properly clean and polish them. I wish there was some instructions on how to properly care for them once removed from the oyster. I washed them with soap to try to get the stink off. I’m not sure what else to do. It was interesting but I doubt I will buy again.

This was very hard to open but once I got it, little pink pearls started dropping out. So fun!

I put it in my tank it never came open,is it still alive what’s wrong. What will happen if I open it?
