You had me scared there, for a second. But I had faith and kept reading.

IowaCamper: I had the same question regarding "can I really tell a difference." Yes, you can tell a difference. I saw my first Hanadama strand a few days ago and was totally blown away by the difference.

Unfortunately, buying online, I think, actually takes longer than going to a store to make a purchase. Online companies are constantly changing their websites. You can learn a lot about a company and their integrity by watching the changes the site goes through; i.e. are they contradicting something they previously represented on the website. I've been watching American Pearl for many years. While this isn't a knock against them and if they had a product I wanted, I would purchase it, but the pictures they display of their collection quality vs. hanadama are completely different than before they invented the collection quality category. I think there are several companies operating under the Premium Pearl name. I don't know if they are related.
