I am simply delighted with my purchases. The necklaces are simply lovely. Let me tell you why I bought them. Decades ago my mother gave me three pearl necklace strings; white, pink, and gray. About 25 years ago I took the white string to get strung at a jeweler in St. Paul. I was assured that the woman who did the stringing was safe to use. I had already had the pearls appraised by a professional so I knew what I had. I got the necklace back and it looked fine. Well, it's not fine. It is painted glass beads, and now the paint is peeling.

The other two necklaces also disappeared from where I previously lived as we had workers and others coming through the house on a very frequent basis as we remodeled. After I found your site, I decided to replace the sets with your lovely pearls. I now have a pink and a white freshwater set from you that are just beautiful. At some point I will get a gray set, and that will complete the trio. I chose the freshwater pearls because they are solid nacre, and that means that these are the closest I can get to real saltwater pearls that have not been cultured.

Thank you for making your necklaces available at a price I can afford. I will treasure the pearls and enjoy wearing them.

This is my first purchase with Pearls of Joy but my fourth purchase with an online pearl jewlery shop.

The pearls arrived very quickly and are beautiful. They are a delicate pale pink and have beautiful luster.

I have worn them everyday since my purchase.

The clasp isn't perfect as it occasionally pops open, but due to it's design, the necklace doesn't fall off. I can have the clasp adjusted, though.

I am very happy with my purchase.
