I have been looking online, places like Pearl Paradise, Mikimoto, etc. but am unsure. I want a high quality strand of south sea white pearls, 16." Probably $10,000-50,000. Best place to buy?
I second doing a Pearl Paradise Virtual appointment. The really amazing pearls are not on the website, but only available if you ask to see them during a virtual appointment. Worth it!!!
They don't put the VIP pearls on the website, because they don't have multiple strands of them. Each strand is unique.
If you have the budget for Paspaley, go for it! They do have beautiful pearls. Jewelmer also sells lovely pearls. There are some retail stores that carry Jewelmer in the USA.
