    MII mark on jewelry being sold as authentic Mikimoto on eBay...true or frauda?

    In perusing the pages of pearl jewelry now being sold as the Perlita line by Mikimoto, I notice only one seller offering most lots. All pieces lack the traditional clamshell kartouche with the prominent M in the center. Instead they bear the mark MII. In my attempts to locate this mark, I came...

    Edison Pearls go on Auction

    Another bit of food for thought: since Grace company hasn't relinquished their patent to other farmers yet (as far as we know) and we do not see many auctions or fixed price sales for the Edison pearl... Are there any other names for Edison-like pearls ie, metallic or iridescent pearls? I...

    Pearllunar is active again

    I used their Buy It Now option. One item was $119 other string was $89. I offered $100 and $60 respectively...she came back on counteroffer with $10 off. Problem came when she cancelled one of the auctions two hrs later by accident. You're supposed to have two hrs to buy or decline counter. eBay...

    Edison Pearls go on Auction

    Hi Pattye and Jeremy, Just finished up seeing five You Tube adventures featuring Jeremy (I secretly want your job ;-). I will be looking the two sites that were mentioned. I figure I can at least treat myself one big golden pearl since a strand would be more than I should spend. Thank you for...

    Why are so many Chinese ebay pearl sellers big fat liars?

    Many thanks to Perlinda and Wendy. Yes, that was my jaw hitting the table. They are low, but not absurdly low on pricing like many sellers on eBay so I thought, maybe, they're okay. Tried to search forum on my own but, too many hits and never saw their name mentioned. Again, Ty Ty Ty. Barbara

    Edison Pearls go on Auction

    It's been more than a year since the Edison hoopla...have prices for Edison's gone down in relation to SS? Has availability increased? I want one...not going to eBay for that kind of risk. Any retail suggestions?

    Why are so many Chinese ebay pearl sellers big fat liars?

    WWW.PJYMARKET.com I found them through Google Search. I don't think they are on eBay. I clicked on "high quality" or "best quality" and then beads and singles. Thank you for any help. Barbara

    Why are so many Chinese ebay pearl sellers big fat liars?

    Found a seller through Google Search named JIY Market. Prices were not rock bottom. Seemed to use the A, AA, etc. Classes sparingly which gave the appearance of being honest. Has anyone ever bought from them. Was looking at a SS Gold single...no drilled whole. I do love raw gemstones. I keep...

    USA fraud

    Update on fake Miki's: eBay asked seller to prove mfg by Mikimoto. Seller was forced to cancel all bids and end auction early. Seller is a pawn shop so they probably know appraisers to help guide and list properly. One down...several million to go... How hard is it to just be honest?

    Newbie - first purchase questions

    Was reading a thread on Queen Elizabeth pearls that have been passed down and given to her on her wedding day. If you enter her name on the search field the string will come up. Anyways they are large natural akoyas I believe. There are several pictures of her as a young woman to recent ones at...
