I have a tradition of purchasing an 18 inch pearl necklace for each of my granddaughters for their 18th birthday. One inch for every year of joy they have brought us. The first two I purchased at a jewelry store many years ago. I recently discovered your web site and after much research into your company I decided to order online. I was nervous, the cost was much less than what I had previously paid many years ago. after my order was placed I received many follow up e-mails while waiting for my order that reassured me that I had made the right decision. I received the pearls in the time frame that was stated. I must say they have exceeded all my expectations. Not only did I pay less but the quality was perfection. I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering buying pearls. My only regret is that I didn’t find it sooner.
