14K Gold 8-9mm Freshwater Pearl Jewelry Set for Women - Necklace, Bracelet & Earrings for Elegant Occasions

I originally ordered a 17" pearl necklace from The Pearl Source for my wife for Christmas 2017. She liked it very much, so this order was an attempt to create a matching set by adding a 16" necklace, bracelet and earrings. I was very careful to order the same color (white), type (freshwater round cultured pearl), size (8-9 mm) quality (AAA) and clasp (white gold) to ensure that I would get an exact match; NOT! the pearls in the set I ordered did not match the color of the original 17" necklace; they were somewhat pinkish in color when viewed side by side with the original order, see photo. this order arrived loose in the box from shipping and was missing one of the earring clasps. I was very surprised at the mismatch since all of their advertising touts how discerning they are in controlling color and size. I was also surprised that the set was more than double the cost ($368 after a 10% discount)) of the original 17" necklace ($169), while the original order came in a much nice storage box. The relative pricing seemed lopsided to me.
