| Hi Bogus,
I do not know this vendor, however, the design of the piece looks very skillfully done (possibly early Cartier) and the pearl, if original and not a replacement, should be an important natural if the size is at all measured correctly. The color and luster somewhat look like pinctada mazatlanica to me but it may just as well be a pinctada maxima or margaritifera or a freshwater pearl from Wisconsin. The asking price is far from a steal but a fair opening bid.
