My 90 year old Mother asked me to buy a pearl neckless for my sister for her birthday. Money was not an issue, but quality was. (On a side note… she gifted me the pearls my father gave her when he was in the navy, so I had to get a nice set of pearls). After going to several actual stores, I was shocked as to how much a pearl neckless cost. Mind you money was not an issue but considering I was sFALSE her money I wanted to be prudent. So, I started to look online. After weeks of research, I decided to go with Pearls of Joy. The decision was based on the customer reviews and the owners story reflecting his passion for pearls. From Start to finish I have not once questioned my decision! The quality of the pearly exceeded my expectations. The presentation of the pearls exceeded my expectations. The Customer Service Absolutely Exceeded my expectations. BUT most importantly My Mother was honored to give her daughter a beautiful Pearl neckless.
