| I purchased some pearl pieces (akoya and Tahitian) from Overstock quite some years ago and was generally happy with them, but that was before they became big and got into everything... Back then the pieces I received seemed to have come from the inventory of actual jewelry stores -- some pieces came in boxes with the store's name on them -- rather than what they carry nowadays which seem mostly generically sourced. In any event, I remember that very stock photo from all those years ago and can't imagine it is true to the actual strands being sold. It is also impossible to get more detailed information from them (I've tried both calling and online chat), and for a while, they had a 15% restocking fee policy for jewelry returns (I don't think they still do), so to me it wasn't worth the trouble (or the potential savings) anymore. But I'm curious about how your purchase will turn out... |
