I am glad you agree LVLanghanke! I am also very impressed RDP put that on their website with additional information regarding the pearls probably being "Freshwater"! Definitely an honest company in my eyes! Blessings Lori

Hi RealDealPearls! So glad this thread helped your company! I believe you had no idea for the reasons I have stated through this thread. I feel ya! I applaud you for offering refunds! That is a huge expense to any business let alone a small business. It shows your character and I hope you are...
