Yes PD that's the one & surprisingly they were!

Thank you everyone!

My whole family is excited about pearls now. Yesterday, my Mum tried on the strand I got awhile back that the seller thought was faux (the poor pearls were real they had just...

Sweet pearl friends,

Thank you, everyone for your condolences, words of encouragement and wonderful ideas for turning the tiny pearl necklace into a pendant or double strand bracelet. I could also...

Today I received an update of the broken strand necklace that was sent back to the original seller. I am more gut-wrenched than when I was told it was not received (and thus had accepted the loss of...

:-) Kat your photos are gorgeous! I love the natural looks of your displays. Your Tahitian dangle earrings are to die for.. I also really love the silver pearl dangle drop earrings (w/ the stearling...

Simply Adorned, you have the most beautiful custom necklaces and pearls- I just love the rosegold floating tahitan necklace, and diamond and tahitan pearl pendant!! How lovely yours, Katbran and...

Kat you are so right. I had forgotten about import tax.

I figure if I mentally double a listed price for any given item, that should be enough to include shipping, duty and exchange rates. At...

Yikes that's steep.
I was really surprised the other day when I mailed a parcel back to the US- tracked mail in Canada comes with free insurance for $100 (if you want it- otherwise, the item gets...

Thank you Pearl Dreams.

I've purchased different kinds of packaging materials for mail, bubble envelopes- big & small, tissue paper, even jewelery boxes as I often see something neat and will send...

Hi Friends,

Well I've had a pretty eventful online pearl buying journey thus far! :( This should teach me not to buy "vintage" pearls for a third of the price, but reputable new pearls from one...

I see, thank you PD.

Yes, I agree, definitely an imitation strand. What confused me were not the 6 glass beads on the metal loops that clearly were chipped and faux, but the pearls in some of her...

Hi Peal Dreams,

Thank you for clarifying, and providing the tip in keeping pearls fresh! I'm so glad you stipulated that I could wear them more often- I cannot wait to receive them, re-string and...

Hi there Simply Adorned,

Yes that 5th picture was what had me questioning them as well. I noticed the larger/chipped drill hole right away, however I wondered if age could perhaps cause that on a...

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for your opinions and advice!! I was really glad to read your responses.

I agree with you all around the price and strands. I actually had offered the owner of...

Hi there Pearl Aficionados,

I am brand new to your site and I am so appreciative to have some guidance around my pearl fascination. I apologize if this is not the correct thread, as my query...
