Well the plot thickens....

By looking at the website and the actual product photos it appears that ShecypearlJewelry.com and Perlunapearls.com are one and the same.

Just take a look at these 2 pages:

http://www.shecypearljewelry.com/abo...nd-honors.html

http://www.perlunapearls.com/pearl-honour.html

The first pic on perluna and last pic on shecy page are the same.

So either its another pic Perlunapearls.com has stolen or they are the same company.

Good work! Now that is a good expose. One name gets too stinky-business-wise- just go pick another..........but be sure to use the same stinking business policies, including stealing photos!

Actually they MUST be one and the same. The pictures I pointed out are of the same wall but taken at different times, you can tell because there is a different number of gold plaques. Also the gold plaque pics are the same but from different photographs, so its not just a case of stolen pics.

Look what I just found today!
pearl-guide.net

I wonder what comes next, a forum? With all the word combinations available why would they choose pearl guide?

At least the information does not originate from pearl-guide. No, they ripped that off from KariPearls.com


Compare these two pages, paragraphs 'blister', 'half', and 'keshi'. They are taken word for word from Kari's.

pearl-guide.net/pearl-type.html
http://www.karipearls.com/types-of-pearls.html

Perluna! Why do you keep stealing other Web site's content? Don't you realize you are being unethical AND breaking the law. Do yourself a favor and read this Wiki page. Intellectual property rights are something we take pretty seriously over here. By infringing on these rights you are only hurting your own business.

PS
The site is owned by perluna pearls. All the links point to them anyway.
