I do not believe this is why there is a return and a 100 percent guarantee on products and fail to see why a seller should wear the brunt of the staff's time, resouces, expertise etc and then that the company should have to do all the trusting.
If is is a matter of quality it is quite a different manner and one should be able to return less than advertising goods. But this is not the case as I see it. For the most part I am a consumer but I have also been on the other end and fair is fair.
Caitlin so old fashioned look (vintage) or modern, not try both and just bugger the seller. I don't see that as fair at all. I am sure Caitln would agree or think she would. Same generation, same or similiar values. Sorry about the language but the ideas that have been put forward smack of using up a seller's good will. I realise most people under 30 or so may not agree but ..... I still think I am right. I haven't even looked at the names with the other view points, no need too. We all look at these things differently.
If I was under 30 or around 30ish I would go for the Akoyas. Now I would go for the Freshadamas. If you are buying knew that is. I am a bargain hunter and sometimes really win out. Overtimes I lose badly. Way it goes. Only thing I gamble on is Pearls

Hi again,
I am not a person who lightly returns items ordered and I can tell you that I have bought quite a lot from Jeremyīs Pearl Paradise, fully knowing that both Jeremy and Terry are honest online sellers of pearls and are in contact with each other. I donīt think for one second that they would feel they are used,on the contrary they actually do encourage us to become educated pearl consumers. And what better way than being able to compare two different pearl qualities, in this case a gem quality and a Freshadama quality. The main difference would probably lie in the visible orient on one or the other and it was for that reason alone that I came up with this suggestion. I have read time and time again on other threads and posts that all our vendors are highly motivated to give us customers the very best (both products and knowledge) and a 90 days return is probably because they are so certain about their qualities or if necessary, that a buyer can change her/his mind. BTW if I as a customer am allowed to do so it certainly will make me tell other future customers how acommodating my seller/s is/are. Jeremy himself has written about how important mouth to mouth propaganda is, so to say.
Please donīt take this as a critizism, I just want to make it clear, why I suggested to order both strands. Besides that it could very easily be that seeing what fine qualities both brothers offer, your next orders go to both of them...
