| Dear Jeremy,
Thank you very much. You've just saved me thousands of $$$. As I have said in my very first post, I wish I had found this forum earlier. I have bought pearls from ebay (es-store from HK and allure, and A-1 Pearls). I am very dishearthened knowing I have paid so much money for junk pearls. And that is why i posted these photos as i did not want to buy fake pearls again.
yes, that is my site, I have used it to post the photos that i have received from the other 'supposed to be genuine supplier'. I was planning to buy these pearls from this new supplier after reading from this forum about es-store and other ebay stores. But im even more disappointed to know that these are also low grade/fake pearls. this new supplier has a physical/traditional jewellery shop, not selling on ebay so i thought her stuff would be real. And literally, she was asking me $1,500 each strand of south sea pearls.
The strand of akoya pearls you mentioned on the page was one of the necklaces i bought from ebay. I simply copied and pasted the description from these ebay- HongKong sellers. I won 2 of these strand, and i seriously thought i got a bargain so why not sell the other strand to others. I still have those strand as i have not advertised it yet. And after reading from this forum again how hard it is to get refund from these ebay sellers, i am just so lost.
I admire how you are able to judge a pearl from photos. I wish i could do the same. I'd like to educate myself more about pearls so i would appreciate if you can recommend books or other sites that will help me learn more about pearls.
Thank you very much.
cheers,
abby
But how come ebay is not kicking out es-store and the other stores ?  |
