I would like to get a gift for my wife... I have a separate post going on the specs/style, but what I want to specifically cover here is Freshadama pearls Vs Saltwater pearls direct from China. A co-worker of mine is headed to China for business and offered to pick up pearls from me. I did this in the past (7-8 years ago), and remember they were 9mm+ and sub $300USD for an 18" necklace strand and stud earrings. Years ago the person who picked them up knew her business and was very knowledgeable. I'll confess this time around the guy going is less of a pearl expert. I gave the original set from 7+ years ago away as a gift and no longer talk with that person so I do not know how they held up, but I still believe it was a great deal and the pearls were of high quality. So with that background I have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know if the prices are still that low if you are actually buying them local in China? If so can you think of a reason to get the Freshadama's over those?
2. Any advice I can give my co-worker about picking them out since he will actually be there in person?
Thanks in advance!
