Hi All,

I will second rainbowislandpearls . . Can totally trust her and her pearls. I have bought from her a number of times and always been happy with pearls and service. So I totally recommend her.

Have also bought from Monsoon and have been happy but mostly bought gold from them as many of their prices are on the high side but they are good and I think trustworthy.

druzydesign has beautiful things and I have also bought from her and been totally happy. She does get some really hard to get items in and has a huge number of followers.

There are, in my opinion, a lot of small sellers that do their best to describe items they have but many don't know much about pearls and just try their best on descriptions. So it can be hit or miss and no sense blaming them if it turns out wrong.

It has been my experience that 95% of Chinese sellers are crooks. Sorry any honest Chinese sellers out there. Just my experience. I recently had one Chinese seller recommended to me and I am waiting on one necklace to arrive so I can't recommend them yet. Would need to buy more than once to be certain they send what they advertise.

I haven't bought pearls from her but I did buy a pair of nice earrings from druzydesign and recently I bought something Robert Elliot, I think his store is called 22k 18k. not pearls but great goldsmithing at a fab price. He did a custom ring for me with a hessonite.

Just thought I'd share.

Other ebay sellers I like in general:

for pearls-wats2luv

for gems

Briarwood Artgems-has a few pearls, but mostly nice quality strands of gemstones

Superstarlooks-has a few pearls, mostly gemstones

A*Cut*Above

Rock Candy Gems and Jewelry

Crystal Cottage

These are ones I have purchased from repeatedly and been pleased, and have had very few occasions to return anything, and if so it was handled promptly and courteously. Each buyer has to judge for themselves whether it seems a good value for the items, of course.

Others I use on a regular basis have already been mentioned,
