    They have no choice. The Distance Selling Regulations apply throughout Europe. On line sellers must refund on any returned article

    While I clearly have an interest in this Caitlin has said it is okay for me to point out that they also claim to be a limited company but according to Companies House, where the registration details of all companies in the UK are kept the company was dissolved in Nov 2010. this may just mean that they were not turning over enough to justify being a limited company with all the palaver of declarations, returns and corporation tax but to me it is another detail.
    Claiming to buy direct from farms is an alert because no-one buys from the farms who wants stock to sell, as against a souvenir of a visit. One farm may produce one sort of pearl, another will produce another, and a third this grade; a fourth, that grade. They all go to big pearl factories where they are cleaned, drilled, matched, graded and processed and thence to the wholesaler. For something like Tahitians or south sea or Cortez you might buy direct (and I have) but not freshwater.
    Loved the comment about the LBD down the farm Lisa)

    Ok, Pearlescense thanks for that, it was fun, and you know what? I think by the way she was sitting she has high heels on, too! Check it out, we girls will recognize this posture.

    Well, the money for these haven't been taken out of my account, and naturally, I haven't received anything yet. Looks like maybe the website is defunct, although it did let me put all my information through. Feeling uneasy about it now. So they have all my banking details but no order has been taken... When writing a cheque you can easily stop it or cancel it, but with this kind of transaction, already done, how does one canel it?? I'm only worried that maybe it's some kind of fraud.
