As a member of the Board of Cultured Pearl Association of America I have placed this issue in the hands of our legal committee and our retained consul. The intentional misrepresentations are about the worst I have seen. We will also pass it on to the JVC (jewelers vigilance committee) I included this video link which I think says it all http://www.shopnbc.com/product/launc...milyid=J202298

What a bunch of creeps. NBC should be forced to run a scroll that simply says "These are not pearls". Actually these folks should be sued. Saying that they lose 80%. And saying that they can only make so many because its a natural process is an attempt to sway people in to believing they are real pearls somehow. This is the sort of thing that makes this business difficult. There are so many creeps and thieves it hurts those of us who really appreciate the unique nature of pearls. The only thing this guy appreciates is money. He could give a crap about the minor miracle a gem quality pearl really is. And she would go gaga over a shiney piece of aluminum foil.
