"PRECIOUS PEARLS CAN BE HAD FOR LESS--ON THE INTERNET

Every woman should own a strand of pearls, especially now that they're affordable. PurePearls.com is part of a growing crop of Internet-based wholesalers selling Fifth Avenue--quality freshwater and cultured pearls at eBay prices. Run by Amanda Raab, 25, the site also teaches consumers about the different types of pearls and how they're farmed and graded. Prices start at $27 for freshwater-pearl earrings and go up to $16,400 for a South Sea pearl necklace. Every piece comes with a certified GIA appraisal and a 90-day return policy. --By Betsy Kroll

Thank you Caitlin and Jeremy

Jerin,
Rondelles are the circular diamond findings between each Tahitian pearl. They make a gorgeous combination with the Tahitian pearls.
