    Question about places of purchase

    I've seen pearls at T J Maxx and they aren't all that bad. Usually it is someones overstock, they aren't there because the quality is bad just because someone had to much inventory and sold it off at or below thier cost to reclaim some money. If you like the style buy it....

    Another Take on an Abalone Man's Pendant
